Saturday Mornings: International News Review with Steve Okun - Iran, Singapore Population, Meta Wants Your Afterlife Socials

Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys journey back to one of the most dramatic chapters in Singapore’s wartime history. Joining us in the studio are Goh Chour Thong, Director (International & Museum Relations) at the National Heritage Board, and Jerome Lim, heritage veteran and guide for two of this year’s signature programmes.

For the first time, Battle for Singapore 2026 invites the public to retrace the actual maritime evacuation routes used by civilians fleeing Japanese bombardment in February 1942. The new programme, Passages at Last Light, takes participants across land, sea and even “air”, with special‑access tours to Tengah Air Base—once the first command centre of the Japanese forces. From boat rides along Singapore’s southern waters to walking the same paths taken by desperate families, this immersive experience brings to life the fear, resilience and human stories behind the Fall of Singapore.

Chour Thong shares how NHB curated more than 30 programmes this year—from talks and exhibitions to hands‑on family activities like LEGO “rebuild Singapore” stations at Changi Chapel and Museum. Jerome offers a glimpse into the lesser‑known narratives uncovered in his tours, including the Naval Volunteer Reserve and Cashin House’s role as a witness to invasion.

Saturday Mornings: Escape by Foot, Bus & Boat: Reliving Singapore’s WWII Evacuation Routes with NHB’s Battle for Singapore 2026

 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Christine Fellowes Co‑Founder and Chair of NINEby9, and board director at National Australia Bank and GuocoLand. Christine joins us to unpack the findings of NINEby9’s latest research report, The Moment of Truth: AI and the Future of Women in the Workplace—a landmark study examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping women’s careers across Asia‑Pacific.

Founded in 2021, NINEby9 is a Singapore‑based research and advocacy organisation dedicated to advancing gender equity in the workforce. Christine explains why this moment in the AI evolution is especially critical: early signs already show a regression in women’s career progression, driven by unequal access to training, a widening skills gap, and a disconnect between HR and technology leaders.

We explore how AI could either accelerate opportunity or deepen inequality, depending on how organisations respond. Christine discusses the importance of C‑suite alignment, inclusive training environments, and the urgent need to prepare Gen Z women for a rapidly shifting job landscape. She also shares practical actions boards and leaders can take—grounded in NINEby9’s research—to measure progress and build a future where women are not left behind.
