MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Elisa Mallis, Managing Director at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), and Mike Hardy, co‑author of the new Trends for Global Leadership: C‑Suite Insights Report. 

Over the past eight months, CCL conducted in‑depth interviews with business and HR leaders across regions to identify the five leadership trends defining what comes next. We explore one of the most important questions facing organisations today: Has globalisation reached an inflection point — and what does that mean for leadership? 

We discuss how leaders are navigating a world shaped by poly crisis — where economic shifts, digital acceleration, geopolitical uncertainty, and social fragmentation collide. Elisa and Mike share insights on the new leadership capabilities required: judgment under ambiguity, alignment across borders, resilience in disruption, and the ability to lead through complexity rather than control it.

Saturday Mornings: Leadership at the Inflection Point: What the C‑Suite Must Do Now

The Wide Angle segment takes us across the Causeway to Paws of JB, a volunteer animal welfare initiative helping stray and abandoned animals in Johor Bahru. MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Maxine Beak, Lead Volunteer, Paws of JB and Nick Wong, Paws of JB Volunteer. Unlike Singapore, where structured systems, sterilisation programmes, and regulatory support keep shelters stable, JB faces overcrowding, limited funding, weaker enforcement, and chronic medical challenges. Many shelters operate independently, relying solely on donations. Some even resort to expired medication due to lack of resources.

Paws of JB supports these shelters through feeding, cleaning, medical fundraising, and cross‑border adoption efforts — bringing animals to Singapore where they have a better chance of finding a home. Volunteers like Nick and Maxine describe heart breaking scenes: dogs kept in small cages for years, animals deprived of walks, and outbreaks like distemper spreading rapidly due to overcrowding.

This week on Singapore Home Brew, we explore the return of one of Singapore’s most beloved traditions: the staycation. With airfare soaring and domestic leisure travel booming, Singaporeans are rediscovering the joy of recharging right here at home.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Oriol Montal, Regional Vice President for Luxury APEC & Singapore at Marriott International, and Annette Lee, actor, comedian, and star of Marriott Bonvoy’s new “Never‑Ending Staycation” campaign... a comedic mini‑series featuring three quirky, distinctly local characters brought to life by Annette.

We discuss why Marriott launched this campaign now, how domestic travellers have become Singapore’s second‑largest source market, and the trends shaping how families, couples, and solo travellers choose their weekend escapes. Annette shares how she created her characters, her take on Singapore’s staycation culture, and the fun behind the scenes.

Annette also talks about her new Singapore movie: "Dream Stall" dropping on 27 May 2026!

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Barbara Kelemen, Associate Director for Geoeconomics & Global Risks at Dragonfly on this week’s International News Review.

We begin with the Iran conflict, which is now sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Tankers are breaking down under a flood of tainted fuel, supply chains are tightening. Barbara explains how this crisis is reshaping risk assessments for governments and multinationals across Asia, the world’s largest energy‑importing region.

We then zoom out to the global macro outlook, where geopolitical volatility, fragmented regulation, and rising protectionism are creating a more complex operating environment for businesses. Barbara shares Dragonfly’s geopolitical forecast for the second half of 2026, including the flashpoints to watch and the scenarios that could shift markets overnight.

Finally, we look at the APAC impact: how companies in Singapore and across the region are adapting their strategies, diversifying supply chains, and preparing for a world defined by uncertainty.

Saturday Mornings International News: Energy Shockwaves, Geopolitical Flashpoints & What Business Must Prepare For

On Happening This Week, we break down one of the most closely watched diplomatic events of 2026: the Trump–Xi Summit in Beijing. 

After two days of pageantry, state banquets, and high‑stakes meetings, President Donald Trump left China declaring he had secured “fantastic trade deals… great for both countries.” But with few details released, the world is asking: What actually happened behind closed doors?

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Eric Olander, co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of The China Global South Project to understand the dynamics.

Trump arrived with a heavyweight delegation of CEOs spanning agriculture, aviation, EVs, and AI chips signalling that trade was the real centrepiece despite tensions over the Iran war. Businesses hoped for clarity on tariffs, especially with the current truce set to expire in November. Instead, the summit delivered warm rhetoric, symbolic gestures, and an invitation for Xi to visit the White House in September.

To help us unpack the substance behind the spectacle, we’re joined by Eric Olander, one of the world’s leading analysts on US–China relations. Eric explains what was said, what wasn’t, and what this summit means for global markets, supply chains, and Asia’s geopolitical balance.

🌍MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphentalks with H.E. Tadeusz Chomicki, Ambassador of the Republic of Poland to Singapore; a seasoned diplomat with deep experience in Asia as well as European security, global trade, and the shifting geopolitical landscape.

Ambassador Chomicki unpacks the Poland–Singapore relationship, a partnership grounded in innovation, defence cooperation, and shared commitments to stability and open markets. We explore what’s trading between the two nations today and where new opportunities are emerging as Europe undergoes rapid transformation.

He also addresses how Poland’s geopolitical position shapes its diplomacy, and why Southeast Asia matters more than ever to Warsaw. Finally, we end on a personal note: what he appreciates about living in Singapore, and how the city’s dynamism mirrors Poland’s own spirit of reinvention.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3 The Wide Angle, we explore how businesses—big and small—are rewriting the rules of corporate purpose.

Saturday Mornings Showhost Glenn van Zutphen talks with Masami Sato, Co‑Founder & CEO of B1G1 to discuss how this Singapore‑based social enterprise is reshaping philanthropy for companies around the world.

B1G1 (Buy1Give1) enables SMEs to embed giving directly into everyday business activities. Whether it’s a sale, an invoice, or a new client, each transaction can trigger a micro‑donation, sometimes as little as one cent to one of 450+ vetted, high‑impact projects aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

With over 396 million giving impacts created across more than 40 countries, B1G1 is proving that small, consistent actions can drive massive global change. Masami shares her personal journey—from teacher to natural food chef to award‑winning entrepreneur—and how her global travels shaped her philosophy of purpose‑driven business and how Singapore companies are using B1G1 to build culture, trust, and long‑term social value.

🌍 It's hard to imagine that up to 100,000 Singaporeans don't have enough to eat each day.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ron Stride, Chairman, and Chin Bottinelli, Guarantor at Food From the Heart. 

This week on the Singapore Home Brew, we spotlight one of Singapore’s most impactful community organisations to share how the charity is nourishing lives and strengthening social resilience across the island.

Founded in 2003 by Austrian couple Henry and Christine Laimer, Food From the Heart began with a simple mission: redirect surplus bread to families who needed it. Today, that mission has grown into a nationwide movement supporting 23,000 households and distributing 164,000 food packs annually from schoolchildren to seniors.

We explore the rising urgency of food insecurity in Singapore, where studies show that over 10% of households have experienced difficulty accessing nutritious meals. Despite improvements post‑pandemic, nearly half of affected families report no change in their circumstances. Food From the Heart steps into this gap with sustainable, long‑term programmes designed to provide consistent, reliable support.

From bread runs to community pantries, from volunteer mobilisation to corporate partnerships, this is a story of compassion, innovation, and the belief that no one in Singapore should go hungry.

🌍 This week’s International News Review unpacks the geopolitical and economic developments shaping markets and policy across Asia.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Ethan Wu, Asia Business & Finance Editor at The Economist.

We begin in Washington, where a panel of judges has struck down President Trump’s attempt to impose sweeping 10% blanket tariffs—a ruling that could reshape global trade flows and corporate strategy at a time of rising protectionism. Then, we look ahead to the highly anticipated Xi–Trump meeting, a pivotal moment for US–China relations with implications for supply chains, technology access, and regional stability.

From there, we turn to Japan, where Toyota’s latest earnings reveal a US$4 billion hit from the war in Iran—but also a surprising bright spot: EV sales are set to more than double next year. With 58% of new cars registered in Singapore now electric, Toyota’s pivot matters more than ever to local drivers and the broader mobility ecosystem.

And finally, a cultural shift in Tokyo: the government is ditching strict office dress codes and encouraging workers to wear shorts amid the energy crunch. What does this say about changing workplace norms in Asia?

Saturday Mornings International News Review: Tariffs, Tensions & Tokyo in Shorts; Global Shifts Reshaping Asia This Week

🌍This week, the broadcasting world lost a giant — a man whose influence reaches every newsroom, every screen, and every listener tuned into MoneyFM89.3.

Ted Turner was the bold, controversial, visionary founder of CNN; he died at the age of 87 on 6 May 2026. His audacity didn’t just change television; it changed how the entire world receives news.

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Michael Holmes, former CNN International anchor and correspondent for 28 years from Atlanta. Michael is one of countless journalists who lived Turner’s legacy from the inside. He helps us understand the man behind the revolution — and why Ted Turner’s impact on global storytelling remains unmatched. 

From launching the world’s first 24‑hour news channel in 1980 to building TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network and Turner Classic Movies, Turner reshaped global media, sports, entertainment, and even environmental philanthropy. He was called many things — “The Mouth of the South,” “Captain Outrageous,” a disruptor, a genius — but above all, he was a builder of institutions that still define modern journalism. We look at the life and legacy of a man I had the privilege to meet several times during my years at CNN International including a memorable dinner with him when I served as President of the Atlanta Press Club in 2003-2004.
