Weekends:  The School Football Academy (SFA) launches in Singapore to train future footballers

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show - host Glenn van Zutphen welcome's Singapore's best known reverse graffiti artist after a whirlwind week of publicity and controversy over his street art... the 24-year-old who turned a power washer into a national debate about creativity, rules, and who gets to shape our shared spaces.

Marcus Pang, founder of Gazing Power Wash, has gone from cleaning driveways after a family tragedy to creating giant public artworks across Singapore. His medium? Nothing but water, pressure, and the dirt already on the pavement — a form of “reverse graffiti” that transforms neglected walkways into temporary murals.

But on 5 June his now‑famous Mountbatten MRT artwork was removed by SMRT staff after one complaint. Singapore Police later confirmed he had done nothing wrong — yet the artwork was gone the next day. The incident sparked a national conversation: Is there room for public art in Singapore? And who decides?

Marcus joins Glenn to talk about the moment he realised power‑washing was art, how the controversy exploded his business overnight, and why he believes Singapore can become a global hotspot for sustainable, community‑driven creativity.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show - host Glenn van Zutphendives into one of the fastest‑growing lifestyle industries in Singapore: aesthetics. Joining Glenn is Dr Paul Yow, founder of Cleo Aesthetic, to explore why beauty has become a mainstream wellness priority  and Singaporeans of all ages and backgrounds are investing in their skin.

We explore the booming market behind this trend: 

• Nearly $1 billion USD projected market size by 2032 

• Over 720 licensed providers in Singapore 

• Explosive demand from Gen Z, men, seniors, and medical tourists 

• The rise of “lunchtime aesthetics” fast, non‑invasive treatments with no downtime
