🌍This week, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glennvan Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack a whirlwind of global developments with ripple effects across Asia. First, we examine the looming U.S. government shutdown and what it signals for regional trade and investment—especially as “Asia for Asia” ambitions face long-term structural hurdles. Next, we turn to President Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan, co-developed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and its implications for Middle East diplomacy. In China, a billion-dollar scam syndicate operating from Myanmar’s borderlands has led to 11 death sentences, exposing the dark underbelly of transnational cybercrime. And closer to home, a social media influencer’s comments on Singapore’s vaping ban—referring to designated smoking areas as “cigarette jail”—is sparking public backlash.
