Saturday Mornings: International News Review on Singapore's Coldplay business strategy, Trumps political fortune, Seoul's first lady of Dior, and the salted tea uproar

On MoneyFM 89.3’s  joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Melissa Lim, General Manager and Executive Producer of The Necessary Stage and the Singapore Fringe Festival, to discuss the urgent fundraising campaign needed to keep the 2027 Fringe alive. Since 2005, the Fringe has been one of Singapore’s most important platforms for socially engaged art. It has commissioned over 1,000 local artists and groups, presenting international works, and creating safe spaces for conversations on mental health, inequality, climate change, migrant workers, and identity. But with the loss of its long‑time title donor in 2025, rising post‑COVID costs, and a cautious corporate philanthropy climate, the festival is now facing a funding cliff. Despite a successful community‑driven campaign that kept the 2026 edition afloat, the current crowdfunding effort has raised just over $9,000 of the $80,000 needed, with the deadline looming on 31 March. Melissa shares why the Fringe matters — its commitment to emerging creators, accessibility for disabled audiences, and its belief that art must remain affordable and inclusive. She also explains what’s at stake if the festival disappears, especially in a year when even major theatre companies are struggling to survive.

Saturday Mornings: 2026 Women’s Hall of Fame - They Built, Healed & Led: Singapore Honours Five Trailblazing Women 

On MoneyFM 89.3’s  Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys discuss one of Singapore’s most urgent workforce challenges: why so many Gen Z employees feel emotionally disconnected at work — and what companies can do about it. Joining us is Ahteram Uddin, Growth Director for Asia & MENA at Kahoot!, to discuss findings from the newly released "2026 Kahoot! Gen Z Report: Singapore Edition – Transition, Tension, and Talent Retention." According to the report, 51% of Gen Z employees say they feel engaged at work, but a striking 49% fall into the disengaged or “neutral middle” — a vulnerable group that is neither thriving nor fully checked out. This “neutral middle” includes 29% who feel neither engaged nor disengaged, and 20% who report being actively disengaged, revealing a fragile emotional connection to the workplace. The study highlights what Gen Z says they need: more structured onboarding (45%), clearer expectations (44%), and greater access to mentors or peer coaches (40%). They also want training that is more engaging (37%), more interactive (31%), and less passive and time‑consuming. Ahteram explains how gamified, interactive learning can bridge the gap between classroom-style structure and corporate reality — and why supporting Gen Z is now business‑critical for Singapore’s talent‑driven economy.
