View descriptionShare
 

🌏“Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk with Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors. They unpack the headlines including: the upcoming ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur (Oct 26–28), where Southeast Asian leaders and global partners—including U.S. President Donald Trump—will gather to discuss trade, regional security, and global conflicts. What should Singapore be watching for? Back home, Singapore's Ministry of Manpower’s advisory that hiring foreign freelancers for weddings is illegal—a move that’s disrupting the local bridal industry and raising questions about gig work, regulation, and enforcement. We also dive into the ESG debate: Are Asian businesses truly embracing sustainability, or is profit still the primary driver? Steve shares his candid take on whether ESG is gaining real traction or remains a checkbox exercise. And finally, a viral moment that sparked national debate: a U.S. TikToker’s unauthorized dip in the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool. What does it say about social media culture, security, and Singapore’s global image?
