The stealthy US Ambassador-designate to Singapore has the diplomatic world wondering who he is. Eight Senate Democrats join with Republicans to pass a Continuing Resolution to fund the government, and US "hunting influencer" bolts Australia and blames everyone else for her on-camera stunt to snatch a baby wombat from its mother. We discuss it all with Steve Okun, CEO APAC Advisors during the International News Review, with "Saturday Mornings Show" host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys.

Saturday Mornings: Steve Okun Singapore's US Ambassador Mystery,  Democrats joint Trump to avert shutdown, and US Hunting Influencer goes too far

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys transform the studio into a folk‑punk session in part 2 of our St. Patrick’s Day special as we welcome The  Boys from County Hell, Singapore’s first‑ever Pogues tribute band. Lead singer Gerry Cox and banjo player Paddy Troy join us on air, with fellow bandmates Mark Garratt, Conor Walsh, and Karl Taylor performing live in‑studio. Formed by musicians who share a fierce love for The Pogues, the band channels the raw, poetic chaos of Shane MacGowan — whose passing in 2023 reignited global appreciation for the group’s legacy. From pubs to festivals across Asia, they’ve become a must‑see act for anyone who loves raucous Irish energy.

Saturday Mornings: Part 1 St. Patrick’s Day - Ireland Takes Over Saturday Mornings with Sarah McGrath, Ambassador of Ireland to Singapore

On MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Ambassador Beata Stoczyńska, Executive Director of the Asia‑Europe Foundation (ASEF), to unpack what this unique intergovernmental organisation actually does — and why its work matters more than ever in 2026. Created under the Asia‑Europe Meeting (ASEM), ASEF is the only institution dedicated to strengthening ties between the two regions through dialogue, collaboration, and people‑to‑people exchange. Ambassador Stoczyńska shares how ASEF’s multinational team has delivered over 280 projects with more than 230 partners, connecting policymakers, students, cultural practitioners, academics, and civil society leaders. We explore ASEF’s priorities for 2026, centred on three major themes shaping the global agenda:
1) A human‑centred approach to cooperation and development
2) Digitalisation, and the opportunities and risks it brings
3) The green transition, where Asia and Europe must work together to meet climate goals

Ambassador Stoczyńska also highlights why ASEF’s role as a bridge is so critical today. With geopolitical tensions rising and global challenges becoming more complex, ASEF provides a rare neutral platform where Asia and Europe can exchange ideas, build trust, and co‑create solutions.
