🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen discuss a week where climate, geopolitics, tech nostalgia, and public‑space design collided in ways only Singapore can appreciate.

We begin with the return of transboundary haze, as PSI levels creep into the unhealthy range. Fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan intensified by dry weather and land‑clearing are pushing smoke across the region. Steve breaks down the climate‑risk trends, the political friction behind haze diplomacy, and what Singaporeans should expect next.

Then to Jakarta, where President Prabowo has offered Indonesia as Russia’s gateway to ASEAN, signalling a bold geopolitical pivot with major implications for regional trade, defence, and U.S.–China competition.

Next: the unexpected tech story dominating U.S. feeds... MapQuest is suddenly the No. 1 app after refusing to map Lake Ontario, sparking a viral debate about digital trust, platform quirks, and the strange power of nostalgia.

And finally, Singapore’s own viral moment: the Farrer Park urinal controversy, after WTO President Jack Sim’s post reignited conversations about hygiene, dignity, and public‑space design. The conversation is more than stream of consciousness.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen spotlights Adriel Yap, Singapore’s only pipe‑organ builder and restorer working in the UK with Harrison & Harrison Ltd.

Adriel shares how he entered a field dominated by century‑old workshops, why pipe organs remain one of the most complex instruments ever built, and how electronic control systems are transforming restoration work. We also explore how music therapy helps people reconnect with memory, emotion, and identity.

It’s a conversation about heritage, craft, and the healing potential of sound and why Singaporeans should care about preserving rare artistic skills. passion.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s The Wide Angle Author Cindy Tien and Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphenlook at the emotional engine behind human behaviour and her new book "InSide: Break Through Your BS to Influence Yourself."

 It’s a book about self‑awareness, accountability, and dismantling the stories we tell ourselves before trying to influence others.

Cindy explains her BS Framework, the inner resistance that keeps people stuck, and why burnout, numbness, and “survival mode” are now common across high‑pressure workplaces. We explore how past pain shapes present identity, how ego protects us by limiting us, and why authenticity matters more than charm or competence.

It’s a practical, honest conversation about breaking patterns, facing blind spots, and redefining strength as clarity.
