🎙️TheInternational News Review with host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys speak to Steve Okun, CEO APAC Advisors: Iran ceasefire, is ASEAN the “B-Team of China”? And Bezos moves his wedding. 
In this week’s International News Review, studio guest Steve joins us for a deep-dive into global headlines starting with the aftermath of reported U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear infrastructure. CIA Director John Ratcliffe saying there was "severe damage" —contradicting a leaked assessment—Steve unpacks whether deterrence or destruction is the endgame. Then to South and Southeast Asia, where India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal says some ASEAN members are a “B-team of China.” Malaysia’s rebuke sparks a broader discussion on regional alliances, optics in trade negotiations, and the delicate balancing act between Beijing and Delhi. Finally, Jeff Bezos’ Venice wedding bash runs into controversy after protests force him to shift venues. Symbolic resistance, or just another elite inconvenience?

🌍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.

Saturday Mornings: Poland & Singapore - Security, Trade and a Changing Europe

🌍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.

Saturday Mornings: The Billion‑Impact Blueprint and How B1G1 is Transforming Worldwide Corporate Giving

🌍 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.
