Description

šŸŒThis week, Steve Okun, CEO of APAC Advisors, joins ā€œSaturday Mornings Showā€Ā host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys to unpack a whirlwind of global developments with ripple effects across Asia. First, we examine the looming U.S. government shutdown and what it signals for regional trade and investment—especially as ā€œAsia for Asiaā€ ambitions face long-term structural hurdles. Next, we turn to President Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan, co-developed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and its implications for Middle East diplomacy. In China, a billion-dollar scam syndicate operating from Myanmar’s borderlands has led to 11 death sentences, exposing the dark underbelly of transnational cybercrime. And closer to home, a social media influencer’s comments on Singapore’s vaping ban—referring to designated smoking areas as ā€œcigarette jailā€ā€”is sparking public backlash.
