During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down Conversation on the Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys celebrate the artists shaping Singapore’s cultural identity as we welcome Cultural Medallion recipient Goh Boon Teck and Young Artist Award recipient Daryl Qilin Yam to the studio. Their achievements are part of a landmark moment: seven arts practitioners were honoured at the Istana in 2025, a fitting tribute in Singapore’s 60th year of independence. Goh Boon Teck, a visionary of Singapore’s bilingual theatre scene, has spent over three decades crafting bold, visually arresting productions. His iconic work Titoudao—staged globally and adapted for television—remains a defining example of how Singaporean stories can resonate across cultures and mediums. Joining him is writer and arts leader Daryl Qilin Yam, whose work at Sing Lit Station has strengthened the literary ecosystem through initiatives like “Book a Writer,” nurturing both emerging talent and future readers. Together, they reflect the deep roots and vibrant future of Singapore’s arts landscape.
