Saturday Mornings with Glenn van Zutphen

Weekends: International News Review the battle between Singapore and Hong Kong

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen is joined in the studio by Robbie Hoyes-Cock and Joseph Bakhsh of Art Vault Asia to preview this extraordinary showcase — Leica’s first oil‑on‑canvas exhibition in Southeast Asia, timed with the auspicious Year of the Fire Horse.

This week on Leaders in Action, we spotlight a landmark moment in Asia’s contemporary art scene: “Fire Horse – The Decisive Moment,” a major exhibition by internationally acclaimed Beijing‑based artist Ma Dongmin, presented by Art Vault Asia in partnership with Leica Singapore.

The exhibition features 23 works from Ma’s celebrated Blue Fire Horse Collection, including new pieces like Twilight Ascension, Radiant Storm, Velvet Thunder, and Celestial Pulse. Ma Dongmin — a three‑time Venice Biennale honouree — is known for his “misty lens” technique, blending Eastern philosophical depth with Western conceptual rigour.

We explore:

🎨 Why the horse is central to Ma’s artistic language 

🔥 How the Fire Horse year amplifies the collection’s symbolism

📷 Why Leica chose this moment to enter the fine‑art canvas space

🌏 How Asian contemporary art is gaining global momentum

Saturday Mornings: Fire Horse, Leica & the Art of the Decisive Moment: Inside Ma Dongmin’s Singapore Exhibition

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks Singaporean musician, actor, playwright, Inch Chua. On The Wide Angle, we explore one of the boldest, most emotionally resonant productions on the Singapore stage this year: “Myles – Soulmate in a Box”, a one‑woman musical starring the brilliant Inch Chua, presented by the Singapore Repertory Theatre.

Inspired by Inch’s own experiences with modern dating, heartbreak, and technology, the show follows a woman who — after being emotionally shattered — decides to learn coding and build the perfect AI boyfriend. What unfolds is a story that is funny, raw, contemporary, and painfully honest about the way technology shapes intimacy.

We discuss the creative process, the music, the writing, and the emotional truth behind the show. We also explore the bigger questions: 

💔 What does connection mean in an age of algorithms? 

🤖 Can AI fill the emotional gaps humans leave behind? 

🎭 Why are audiences resonating so deeply with this story?

Saturday Mornings: Love, Loneliness & AI: Inside ‘Myles – Soulmate in a Box’ with Inch Chua & SRT

MoneyFM 89.3 Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with veteran photo journalist and photographer Kris LeBoutillier. This week on Singapore Home Brew, we dive into a fascinating cultural shift: the return of film photography. And not just film — early‑2000s digicams, camcorders, disposable cameras, even flip phones. 

Gen Z and younger millennials are exhausted by algorithmic feeds, AI‑generated perfection, and the endless sameness of smartphone photography. They want something tactile, unpredictable, imperfect — something human. And old cameras deliver exactly that.

We explore the three overlapping trends driving this movement: 

📸 The Film Camera Revival — grain, blur, light leaks, and the thrill of waiting for your photos. 

📷 Digicam Culture — harsh flash, low megapixels, oversaturated colours… now considered cool. 

🤖 The Anti‑AI Aesthetic — visual proof that a real person was there.

Kris explains why this isn’t nostalgia — it’s a counterreaction to hyper‑digital life. A mindfulness practice. A creative rebellion. A way to slow down.

Singapore is feeling it too: vintage camera prices are soaring, classes are full, and young creators are rediscovering the joy of intentional photography.
