We look at the global crisis hiding in plain sight: over 800 million children worldwide lack essential life skills from teamwork to communication to problem‑solving leaving them unprepared for the workforce and trapped in cycles of poverty.
Enabling Leadership is a Singapore‑based organisation transforming children’s lives through football, LEGO‑based learning, and the arts. Their programs are EL Play, EL Build, and EL Create and are now reaching 10,000 children across multiple countries. In Singapore, EL Play is already running in three public schools in Yishun, with plans to expand and introduce EL Build next year. Each child’s full program costs just USD 120 (SGD 400), covering sessions, journals, and a sports kit. Ravi and Aparna share powerful stories of how their programs help children — especially girls — build confidence, leadership, and resilience. They also discuss how companies in Singapore can partner through employee engagement and sponsorships.

18/04/26 - Saturday Mornings International News Review: Hormuz Reopens, Singapore Responds to US Probe, Indonesia–US Defence Pact and a "Nuisance Influencer” goes to Jail in South Koreaes Week🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to break down a fast‑moving geopolitical landscape that is reshaping global markets, diplomacy, and Asia’s strategic posture. We begin in the Middle East, where Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is now fully open (or maybe closed, we're not sure) during the ceasefire, easing immediate fears over global oil supply disruptions. But with tensions still simmering, the world is watching closely to see whether this fragile opening holds. Back home, Singapore is responding to a US probe into alleged forced labour, with the Ministry of Trade and Industry emphasising that Singapore takes such allegations seriously and maintains strict labour standards. Steve explains what this means for Singapore’s reputation, trade relationships, and global supply chain confidence. In Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the United States have signed a new defence pact, signalling deepening military cooperation at a time of rising regional competition. We explore what this means for ASEAN security dynamics.
And finally, a story that has gripped South Korea: "Nuisance Influencer” American YouTuber Ramsey Khalid Ismael — known for provocative stunts — has been sentenced to six months in a Korean prison for disrespecting a memorial to wartime sexual slavery victims.

11/04/26 - Saturday Mornings: As AI Rewrites Customer Insight, Qualtrics Says Singapore Businesses Must Move FasterOn 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.

11/04/26 - Saturday Mornings International News Review: Trump Slams Iran Over Hormuz, Melania Calls for Epstein Hearings, Xi Meets KMT Leader🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen. We begin with US President Donald Trump’s sharp criticism of Iran, accusing Tehran of doing a “very poor job” managing oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint critical to global energy supply. With tensions already high from the ongoing conflict, Trump’s remarks add fresh uncertainty to an already fragile situation. In Washington, First Lady Melania Trump made headlines of her own, publicly denying any links to Jeffrey Epstein and calling for congressional hearings for survivors, a rare and forceful intervention that has drawn widespread attention. Across the region, China’s President Xi Jinping held a rare meeting with KMT leader Cheng Li-wun, the first such visit in a decade. Both sides emphasized a desire for cross‑strait peace, even as geopolitical pressures continue to mount. And finally, a lighter moment from China: a viral video of robot boxers swinging enthusiastically but landing no punches, prompting questions about the state of AI‑driven sports entertainment.
