🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11, as the U.S. marks a quarter‑century since the attacks that reshaped global security. Steve reflects on how terrorism threats have evolved and why Singapore’s Internal Security Department (ISD) warning that the terror threat remains high is a reminder that complacency is not an option. Youth radicalisation, online recruitment, and lone‑wolf extremism are now front‑line concerns.

Then to U.S. politics, where the Republican National Committee Midterm Convention in Dallas, Texas this week delivered big messaging. But it was overshadowed by President Trump’s surprise pledge to give $5,000 checks to all Americans if Republicans win in November, sending officials scrambling to explain the fallout, the funding, and the legality.

We also unpack Singapore’s debate over ministerial salaries, after the new S$1.8 million benchmark sparked conversations about governance, expectations, and competing with private industry for talent.
