Saturday Mornings: Jason Chen Festival Director, "i Light Singapore 2025"

On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack global developments that reveal how fast the political and economic landscape is shifting. We begin with the Prince Andrew–Epstein shockwave throughout the UK, US and beyond. Steve looks at the political, legal and diplomatic implications of this unprecedented moment, and what it says about accountability among the rich and powerful. We also examine President Trump’s newly launched “Board of Peace”, a high‑profile initiative with many unanswered questions. Steve breaks down what the board is designed to do—and what it may actually achieve. Finally, we reflect on the legacies of Robert Duvall, the Hollywood icon behind The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and Reverend Jesse Jackson, a civil rights giant whose influence shaped generations.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Wide World Segment, Saturday Mornings Show  host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys are joined by Tony O’Dempsey, spokesman for the Nature Society Singapore (NSS), and Albert Liu, Assistant Director (Conservation), to unpack an important environmental questions facing Singapore’s future: What happens to our green spaces when Paya Lebar Air Base is redeveloped? With redevelopment slated to begin in the 2030s, NSS has submitted a proposal urging the Urban Redevelopment Authority to retain 31% of the area—389 hectares—as green spaces. This includes forest patches, parkland, ponds, marshes, and one of Singapore’s last large “wild growth” landscapes stretching from the Serangoon River Forest to Tampines Quarry. Why this area matters:
It is the largest near‑contiguous wild growth habitat in the northeast.
It supports over 150 bird species, including migrants and woodland‑dependent species.
It contains ecological “sources and sinks” that cannot be replaced by narrow green connectors.
Its biodiversity value exceeds even the footprint of Tengah Forest Town.

We explore whether retaining a third of the land is realistic, how ecological connectivity can be preserved, and what the trade offs that Singapore must make.

Saturday Mornings: The Nature Society Singapore on Saving Paya Lebar’s Green Spaces

On MoneyFM 89.3’s Singapore Home Brew, Saturday Mornings Show  host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys dive into two centuries of maritime history with Mr Balakrishnan B, Commodore of the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC)—Singapore’s oldest recreational club and one of Asia’s most storied yacht clubs. Celebrating its 200‑year milestone, RSYC’s history reads like a sweeping Singapore epic: royal visits from British monarchs, daring WWII escape voyages, long‑lost trophies rescued from wartime chaos, and the club’s remarkable post‑war revival. Commodore Balakrishnan shares how RSYC not only survived the Japanese Occupation but went on to shape sailing as a national sport—producing Olympic sailors, founding key sporting bodies, and hosting Singapore’s longest‑running regatta. We explore the club’s evolution from colonial-era prestige to a modern, inclusive maritime community. From its architectural heritage and multicultural leadership to its role in nation‑building—marked by President Yusof Ishak becoming its first Singaporean Patron in 1967—RSYC mirrors Singapore’s own transformation. Commodore Balakrishnan also offers a look at RSYC today: its marina, hotel, sailing programmes, community initiatives, and the vision behind its #RSYC200 Bicentennial celebrations, including the Charity Gala attended by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.
