Saturday Mornings International News Review: "Ceasefires, Champagne & Changing Ticket Costs: This Week’s Global Flashpoints"
Description
🌍 This week, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack four headline-grabbing stories shaping global conversations. First, the fragile Gaza ceasefire agreement brokered after weeks of escalating violence between Israel and Hamas, and what it signals for regional diplomacy. Next, Dr Anjani Sinha’s confirmation as Trump’s new ambassador to Singapore. The India-born orthopaedic surgeon, known for his ties to the Trump family, was approved in an en bloc Senate vote, raising questions about the administration’s Asia strategy. In Malaysia, Petronas CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik apologises for joining the champagne shower celebrations at the Singapore Grand Prix. His “misplaced exuberance” sparked backlash over cultural sensitivities and corporate conduct. Finally, Singapore Airline's new rules for booking reward flight tickets and their cost structure. But will they fly with the traveling public?
