🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s Leaders in Action Segment Popsicle Asia Founder Maureen Knight joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to spotlight a Singapore business solving a problem some overseas travellers face: why buy expensive winter wear that may be used only once? 

Founded in 2014, Popsicle Asia has grown into a resource for families heading to cold‑weather destinations. It rents high‑quality jackets, ski pants, boots, gloves, and accessories for adults, children, and toddlers making winter travel more affordable, convenient, and sustainable.

Maureen explains how she focuses on personalised service, fast response times, and guiding first‑time snow travellers through exactly what they need.

We explore why Singaporeans are increasingly choosing to rent rather than own. Maureen also shares leadership lessons from building a niche business, staying resilient, and serving customers with empathy.

🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Alex Capri, Author, Adjunct Senior Lecturer, NUS joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to discuss the US–Saudi nuclear power deal, a landmark agreement that could reshape Middle East energy strategy for decades. Capri explains why Washington is betting on civilian nuclear partnerships and what this means for regional stability, proliferation risks, and America’s long‑term influence.

Then to the Red Sea, where Yemen’s Houthi forces claimed attacks on two Saudi oil tankers. Capri breaks down the strategic implications: chokepoint vulnerability, insurance spikes, and how non‑state actors are increasingly shaping global energy flows.

We also dive into the Petro‑State vs Electro‑State calculus and how countries like Singapore must rethink energy strategy as data‑centre demand explodes. Who powers the compute? Who builds the infrastructure? Capri explains why China’s dominance in electrical systems and grid‑scale hardware matters more than ever.

And finally, Singapore’s role in the AI memory‑chip story from Micron’s US$7B fab investment to the rise of SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron as indispensable partners to NVIDIA.
