In this week’s International News Review, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glennvan Zutphen to unpack the geopolitical landscape. From Gen Z-led uprisings in Nepal and Indonesia to the rise of US political violence, we explore how free speech is colliding with state power around the world. Meanwhile, Israel’s unprecedented airstrike on Hamas leaders in Qatar and Russia’s drone incursion into NATO-member Poland have raised serious questions—especially about President Trump’s muted response.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment, Ravi and Aparna Sonnad, co‑founders of Enabling Leadership join Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys. We look at the global crisis hiding in plain sight: over 800 million children worldwide lack essential life skills from teamwork to communication to problem‑solving leaving them unprepared for the workforce and trapped in cycles of poverty. 

Enabling Leadership is a Singapore‑based organisation transforming children’s lives through football, LEGO‑based learning, and the arts. Their programs are EL Play, EL Build, and EL Create and are now reaching 10,000 children across multiple countries. In Singapore, EL Play is already running in three public schools in Yishun, with plans to expand and introduce EL Build next year. Each child’s full program costs just USD 120 (SGD 400), covering sessions, journals, and a sports kit. Ravi and Aparna share powerful stories of how their programs help children — especially girls — build confidence, leadership, and resilience. They also discuss how companies in Singapore can partner through employee engagement and sponsorships.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Sit-Down Conversation, Eric Zhang Guo Hua Artist, INK-Credible Eric! joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys. We  spotlight his bold leap of faith and the creative spirit behind it. INK‑Credible Eric, has opened his own sketch studio at International Plaza and invites Singapore to be part of his next chapter. Eric specialises in soft pastel and charcoal portraits, offering A4 and A3 pieces that customers can watch him create live. But behind the craft is a deeper philosophy: art isn’t just the final product — it’s the energy, connection, and presence poured into every stroke. He shares how this new venture is more than a business; it’s a calling. From murals to live sketches, Eric believes people don’t just buy art — they buy a moment of recognition and human connection. And right now, he says, “the energy is flowing.”

For anyone looking to support a local artist or commission a meaningful portrait  — Call Eric at 9237 6935.
