Saturday Mornings: Singapore needs to learn to live with its wildlife neighbors

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes H.E. Anneke Adema, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Singapore and Brunei. She's a seasoned diplomat whose career has been defined by her commitment to international cooperation, inclusivity, and the rule of law. Ambassador Adema reflects on 60 years of diplomatic relations between Singapore and the Netherlands, a milestone she recently celebrated by hosting a special lunch at her residence one where guests had to “work for their lunch,” a playful nod to the Dutch spirit of collaboration. She shares why the Netherlands considers Singapore one of its most important partners in Asia, and how both countries’ shared worldview open economies, innovation, sustainability, and multilateralism continues to anchor the relationship.  We explore the deep ties between the two nations: from trade and maritime cooperation to green transition efforts, digital innovation, and people‑to‑people exchange. Ambassador Adema also discusses her priorities since arriving in 2022, the evolving role of diplomacy in a more uncertain world, and how the Netherlands is strengthening partnerships across Southeast Asia.

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Anthony Lu, Regional Director of South East Asia and Greater China, to unpack Booking.com’s Traveller Review Awards 2026 and what they reveal about travel trends, guest expectations, and Asia’s rising influence. We explore the global state of hospitality through the lens of  one of the world’s largest recognition programmes based on 370 million verified guest reviews. The 2026 awards highlight a strong year for Singapore:
229 local partners were recognised up from 2025 with an impressive average review score of 8.6 across more than 362,000 guest reviews. 
Hotels once again dominated the list, underscoring Singapore’s reputation as a world‑class urban destination. 
Iconic properties such as Park Royal Collection Marina Bay, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, Carlton Hotel Singapore, and Paradox Singapore Merchant Court were among this year’s standout winners.

Anthony shares what’s driving Asia’s hospitality boom, how destinations can craft more welcoming and inclusive travel experiences, and what sets the region apart in service culture. We also discuss Booking.com’s list of the Most Welcoming Places on Earth, and how the platform supports partners in making travel easier and more accessible for everyone.

Saturday Mornings: Singapore Shines in Booking.com’s 2026 Traveller Review Awards - What’s Driving Asia’s Hospitality Boom?

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen welcomes Hui Ching Tan, Head of Research Insights APJ at Qualtrics, to unpack how AI‑simulated consumers are changing the way organisations understand their customers. We explore a huge shift happening inside one of the world’s biggest industries market research and why Singapore companies may be underestimating how fast AI is transforming it. Worth over US$150 billion, the research industry has long relied on surveys, focus groups and weeks‑long studies. But Qualtrics’ latest data shows a new reality:
78% of researchers already use Agentic AI
72% expect AI to take full responsibility for key research phases
70% believe AI agents will run more than half of all research end‑to‑end

These AI “digital twins” built from real consumer behaviour, preferences and purchase history can test messages, products and experiences in hours instead of months, without fatigue, bias or drop‑off. Hui Ching explains what this means for Singapore’s banks, healthcare providers and retailers, especially amid a talent crunch in research and analytics. She also shares why companies that adopt synthetic data and agentic AI now will gain an insight advantage that competitors will struggle to catch.
