“You will see LCC fleet sizes increasing, and you'll see them operating longer routes into East Asia, Central Asia and even into Eastern and Western Europe." More than 50% of available flight seats on any given day in South East Asia are provided by low-cost carriers (LCCs). Budget airlines have played a vital role in rebuilding regional air travel and tourism in ASEAN and Asia Pacific since the prolonged Covid border closures. Now, with ASEAN into its fourth year since reopening, LCCs are being emboldened to expand their route networks and stretch the geographic reach for passengers - with the help of advancements in aircraft technology and AI tools to improve operational efficiencies. This week, Gary is joined by Kuala Lumpur-based Shantanu Gangakedkhar, Senior Consultant, Aerospace & Defense, at Frost & Sullivan, to assess the outlook for low-cost air travel in South East Asia, North East Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East and beyond. En route, we discuss a range of pertinent issues from pricing and fierce market competition to air traffic management and the LCC market potential of South East Asia's tier-2 and tier 3 cities. Plus, we address the exit of Jetstar Asia from Singapore, ongoing aircraft supply chain challenges, and the current and potential impacts for the airline industry of US tariffs.

La Tertulia de los Jueves con Cecilia Eguiluz, Miguel Fernández Galeano, Eleonora Navatta y Daniel Supervielle. *** La política exterior del gobierno de Yamandú Orsi va tomando forma… y ritmo. En los primeros días de este mes el presidente encabezó delegaciones de Uruguay en tres cumbres internacionales: la de Naciones Unidas sobre Financiación para el Desarrollo, en Sevilla; la del Mercosur, en Buenos Aires; y la de los BRICS, en Río de Janeiro. Luego el canciller Mario Lubetkin viajó a Kuala Lumpur, donde firmó la adhesión de nuestro país al Tratado de Amistad y Cooperación del Sudeste Asiático. Desde el oficialismo destacan que estos movimientos responden a una estrategia clara: diversificar vínculos, abrir nuevos mercados, reposicionar a Uruguay en un mundo más fragmentado y, al mismo tiempo, mantener buenas relaciones con los socios tradicionales, como Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. Ayer, aquí En Perspectiva, el canciller Mario Lubetkin profundizó en esa visión cuando le preguntamos cuál era el saldo de los últimos viajes, cumbres y reuniones bilaterales… “En pocas palabras, nosotros primero teníamos un punto de fondo: nada de la política internacional puede servir si no ayuda al crecimiento económico del país. Y eso es un tema fundamental. Significa que, cuando se pasa raya —y en política exterior se necesita tiempo—, tiene que significar más fuentes de trabajo, más inversiones, crecimiento económico. Pero lo concreto, cuando hablábamos de círculos concéntricos era: cambiar el clima del Mercosur, ir a un Mercosur mucho más abierto; ir a un escenario subregional de Sudamérica, encontrando algún mecanismo de diálogo entre los sudamericanos; recuperar instrumentos como la CELAC, porque es el único en que dialogan los 33 países de América Latina y el Caribe; empezar a conectar con los grandes países líderes del sur, esos que están empujando la economía del mundo. Y finalmente, mantenernos con un gran esfuerzo en el multilateralismo, porque es el único camino que puede dar estabilidad al mundo. Todos esos temas tienen una interrelación, pero se trataba de construirlos en lo concreto. Y yo creo que hemos abierto todas las avenidas, y creo que ese es el resumen de este viaje”. Sin embargo, ese rumbo no ha estado exento de objeciones. Desde la oposición, algunas voces cuestionaron la participación, como país invitado, en la cumbre del BRICS y advirtieron sobre un supuesto “alineamiento ideológico” con el presidente brasileño Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Con estos elementos sobre la mesa, ¿qué señales dejan los primeros pasos de la política exterior del gobierno de Yamandú Orsi? ¿Se percibe un perfil definido? ¿Cuáles son las oportunidades -y las amenazas- que pueden presentarse en este nuevo escenario?

She fell 14 floors.... When 18-year-old Dutch model Ivana Smit was found dead on a balcony in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian authorities ruled it a fall. But her naked body, the suspicious couple she was last seen with, and a string of ignored evidence sparked international outrage. This is mystery that shook two nations and leaves a family fighting for justice across oceans.SUPPORT THIS PODCAST:  https://linktr.ee/twistedtraveltruecrimepodcast⁠MONTHLY:Patreon: ⁠https://patreon.com/user?u=42048051&utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link⁠Spotify:⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/twisted-travel-and-true-c?ref=radiopublic⁠ONE TIME:Venmo:⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3248826752172032881⁠⁠Paypal:⁠⁠https://www.paypal.me/twistedtravelandTC⁠⁠Social Media Links:⁠https://linktr.ee/twistedtraveltruecrimepodcast⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/twistedtravelandtruecrime⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/twistedtravelandtrue_crime⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@twistedtravelandtruecrim?lang=en⁠Gmail:  ⁠twistedtravelandtruecrime@gmail.com

Winston's done it again. The old political workhorse of the Pacific just keeps getting more popular. New Zealand First has overtaken ACT in the latest Taxpayer's Union Curia Poll - it's now the third most popular party. I'll give you a break down of the numbers shortly, but this has got to be ego bruising for Seymour. He's just got his feet under the Deputy's desk and he's been overtaken in the polls by the bloke he's replaced. Not that simply being the Deputy PM gets you votes, but he's trying to make a good fist of it. Seymour's holding press conferences left, right and centre. Yesterday, a stand-up reacting to no change in the OCR. Today, a stand-up on Stats NZ numbers. Luxon's overseas on holiday. Winston's East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Kuala Lumpur. Seymour's been bogged down with Regulatory Standard's Bill, the Treaty bill and school lunches. Winston's been flying around the world keeping us in line with China and staving off Trump's tariffs... all while celebrating his 80th birthday. And to top it off, he's keeping cash in circulation. Winston is popular because he speaks his mind and knows what he's talking about. He commands respect. When he speaks, people listen. He's a good example of a man who keeps it simple. Do your job and do it well. Work hard and stay focussed. It's a pretty simple formula that's seen him through the last 40+ years in politics and ion these numbers will see him through atleast a couple more yet.

 1.) The most important aspect of Feng Shui is to create a cozy home where you feel relaxed and positive. 2.) To give us an advance for what we attract… And that is crucial for our life.The Chinese emperors have applied Feng Sui for 3000 years to gain:1.) Power, Career. 2.) Fame, recognition.3.) Wealth, money (Tip at the end).4.) Health.5.) Happiness. 6.) Better love relationship.7.) Creativity.8.) Get help.9.) Better Family Life.and it worked and works…Who wonders that Mao Zedong, the modern Singapore founder Lee Kuan Yew, the Hong Kong presidents, mainly all Real Estate Gurus are Feng Shui lovers, for sure also Trump. Hong Kong and Singapore are shaped by Feng Shui… Compare that with Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Bangkok… Feng Shui is not a belief but a very complex system… If you don't believe that, the famous Master Han Feng Shui gives you for free all of his lectures… That is the best way to get totally confused… I recommend the books: “Feng Shui that makes sense” and “Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui”.The USA has created their own Feng Shui (Black Sect Tantric Buddhism Feng Shui) that is simplified and a reduced system that might not work… Because the American system ignores the cardinal points and can get through that the opposite effects that were desired…  For us is Form Feng Shui and the Compass Feng Shui the best…If we want to go further get a Feng Shui expert… If we start with our living place, we first get rid of all the clutter and junk otherwise Feng Shui can't work. Psychology has approved the rules of Feng Shui. What is inside is outside… If your living place is a mess, then you have a mess already inside of yourself…If everything is crammed in your House, then you are full of thoughts, worries… Get space…When a house buyer wants to buy a house, in the first 20 seconds, he decides even he has seen the house only from outside… And here starts the Feng Shui …. Outside is more important than inside… If your business depends on walk-in Customer, then Feng Shui is a must!!!Feng Shui doesn't like sharp corners because it can hurt,- our subconsciousness doesn't feel so protected… Everything should be organic and with round edges.If you sit behind a desk, the best is always that a wall is behind you and that you can see the entrance… Guess what happens when you take a table in an empty restaurant… do you choose the table in the middle?Tip to gain more money:For gathering more wealth/money, try out an indoor/outdoor fountain in the South East of your home/premise. Or if not possible, position the indoor fountain in the angel 45% left of the main entrance… Don't place a fountain in the sleeping room…I have started with Feng Shui, and it works well for me. My only regret is, why didn't I have started with Feng Shui earlier? My Video: For what is Feng Shui good? https://youtu.be/k5SQ_vB1Iw8My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/For-what-is-Feng-Shui-good.mp3

O Autores e Livros Dose Extra desta edição conversa com o diplomata e escritor Ary Quintella, que acaba de lançar Geografia do tempo, publicado pela editora Andrea Jakobsson Estúdio. A obra reúne textos que transitam entre a ficção, o ensaio e a memória, sempre com sensibilidade e apuro literário. Durante a entrevista, Ary fala sobre o papel do tempo como eixo central do livro — o tempo que passa, que molda lembranças, que percorre cidades, livros e afetos. Os textos que compõem a obra evocam experiências pessoais e culturais vividas pelo autor ao longo de sua carreira diplomática em diferentes partes do mundo. Livros, livrarias, museus, exposições, grandes obras da literatura e da arte povoam os escritos de Quintella. As cidades que percorreu — como Quito, Seul, Londres ou Kuala Lumpur — surgem entrelaçadas a reflexões sobre política, história e cultura.

The Kuok Group feeds cities, builds skylines, and reshapes borders. From sugar to shipping, hotels to high finance, it powers modern Asia in ways few truly understand.Robert Kuok sits quietly at the heart of this story, a man guided by discipline, driven by vision, and guarded in privacy.He didn't chase the spotlight. He chased scale. From the chaos of war-torn Malaya to the boardrooms of Beijing, Kuok built his empire with patience, precision, and a belief in long-term power over short-term profit.He never raised his voice. But when he moved, industries followed.This is the story of the Kuok Group — how a young man from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, rose from rice sacks and ration books to build Southeast Asia's largest sugar empire and, ultimately, to shape the future of China, one power move at a time.Episode 1: FoundationsJapanese bombs fall over Singapore. Sixteen-year-old Robert Kuok begins a long walk home. He is angry, disillusioned, but determined to change the world.Episode 2: Sugar RushRice built Kuok Brothers Ltd. But sugar? That's what will make them legends. When global prices spike and contracts fall apart, Robert learns the true cost of sweet ambition.Episode 3: Sugar CrashTo move beyond importing sugar, Robert sets his sights on building Malaysia's first refinery. But foreign partners try to box him in. In response, he rewrites the rules - mastering policy, strategy, and global trading - until the Kuok name commands respect from London to Kuala Lumpur.Episode 4: The Sugar King To control sugar from source to shelf, Robert ventures into Indonesia and strikes a deal with a powerful, but unpredictable, ally. But as politics sour, he must fight to hold onto the empire he's built before it slips away.Episode 5: Shangri-LaKuok bets on hospitality. The result? A new kind of empire, one made of glass, steel, and silence. But while others chase the West, Robert looks East.-Our series is proudly sponsored by AlphaSense.-Access expert analyst reports, perfectly summarised by Gen-AI with precision and no hallucinations.

The Kuok Group feeds cities, builds skylines, and reshapes borders. From sugar to shipping, hotels to high finance, it powers modern Asia in ways few truly understand.Robert Kuok sits quietly at the heart of this story, a man guided by discipline, driven by vision, and guarded in privacy.He didn't chase the spotlight. He chased scale. From the chaos of war-torn Malaya to the boardrooms of Beijing, Kuok built his empire with patience, precision, and a belief in long-term power over short-term profit.He never raised his voice. But when he moved, industries followed.This is the story of the Kuok Group — how a young man from Johor Bahru, Malaysia, rose from rice sacks and ration books to build Southeast Asia's largest sugar empire and, ultimately, to shape the future of China, one power move at a time.Episode 1: FoundationsJapanese bombs fall over Singapore. Sixteen-year-old Robert Kuok begins a long walk home. He is angry, disillusioned, but determined to change the world.Episode 2: Sugar RushRice built Kuok Brothers Ltd. But sugar? That's what will make them legends. When global prices spike and contracts fall apart, Robert learns the true cost of sweet ambition.Episode 3: Sugar CrashTo move beyond importing sugar, Robert sets his sights on building Malaysia's first refinery. But foreign partners try to box him in. In response, he rewrites the rules - mastering policy, strategy, and global trading - until the Kuok name commands respect from London to Kuala Lumpur.Episode 4: The Sugar King To control sugar from source to shelf, Robert ventures into Indonesia and strikes a deal with a powerful, but unpredictable, ally. But as politics sour, he must fight to hold onto the empire he's built before it slips away.Episode 5: Shangri-LaKuok bets on hospitality. The result? A new kind of empire, one made of glass, steel, and silence.

#262: Am 8. März 2014 hebt Malaysia-Airlines-Flug MH370 mit 239 Menschen an Bord in Kuala Lumpur ab. Kurz nach dem Start verschwindet die Boeing 777 vom Radar – und bleibt bis heute spurlos. Kein Notruf. Kein Wrack. Keine Antworten für Angehörige wie Ghyslain Wattrelos. Der Franzose verliert an diesem Tag seine Ehefrau und zwei Kinder. Für ihn und die Ermittler beginnt ein verzweifelter Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Denn die Blackbox sendet nur 30 Tage lang Signale, während das Suchgebiet sich über tausende Kilometer Ozean erstreckt. Doch statt Klarheit zu finden, stößt Ghyslain auf immer neue Ungereimtheiten. Bis heute bleiben viele Fragen offen: Was geschah wirklich mit MH370 – und warum gibt es zehn Jahre später noch immer keine Gewissheit? In dieser Folge rekonstruieren Linn und Leo die letzten bekannten Minuten des Flugs und schauen sich die internationale Ermittlungen, widersprüchliche Spuren und die vier Haupttheorien zum Verschwinden an. War es ein technischer Defekt? Eine Entführung durch Passagiere? Ein Abschuss aus politischen Gründen? Oder war am Ende einer der Piloten verantwortlich? Eine Produktion von Auf Ex Productions.

May was another hectic month of BIG travel, tourism and geopolitical talking points in South East Asia. This month's roundup takes Gary and Hannah around ASEAN, from our home city of Kuala Lumpur to Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Timor Leste and Vietnam – plus China, India (sort of), Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan. En route, we discuss China's new ASEAN visa, Indonesia clings to its high-speed rail ambitions, and ASEAN accumulates an 11th member, and perhaps as a 12th in future. We feature a mini round-up of travel takeaways from the Philippines, including airport privatisation, a digital nomad visa and visa-free access for Indian travellers. Plus, Vietnam's "resort airline in the sky," AirAsia takes on Saudi Arabia and Vietjet lands in Kazakhstan. And, we finish with a regional concert tourism review and preview, featuring Lady Gaga in Singapore and Blackpink preparing to kill the love in four South East Asian capitals.  

Host Jason Blitman sits down with debut author Austin Taylor (Notes on Infinity) to talk about themes of ambition, mortality, and the challenges of being a woman in science.

Today I first discuss Trump’s recent comments about China “opening up” to the US (1:21). Next, I share my tweet that made the Steve Deace show Wednesday, critiquing their response (15:41). Last, we finish up with our weekly Pray for China segment, including a few new stories and book recommendations (31:31). Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network!

Just follow and either tag me in a message or send a DM. Trump says China agrees to 'fully' open country's markets to US businesses China has agreed to "open itself up to American business" according to Pres. Donald Trump. The arrangement was arguably the most significant development stemming from the trade negotiations, Trump told reporters Monday at the White House. Plans have yet to be finalized and "papered," but Trump said that China is on board with the agreement. "The biggest thing to me is the opening up," Trump told reporters Monday. "It would be, I think it would be fantastic for our businesses if we could go in and compete with China. It would be a lot of jobs for China. . .I think it's maybe the most important thing to happen, because if you think about it, we opened up our country to China," Trump said. "They come. We don't. I mean, they have very few restrictions, and they didn't open their country to us, never made sense to them. It's not fair. And they've agreed to open China fully open…and I think it's going to be fantastic." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-china-agrees-fully-open-countrys-markets-us-businesses https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/05/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-secures-a-historic-trade-win-for-the-united-states/ China Compass on the Steve Deace Show (5-14-25, 1:23:40-1:28:10) “I think we agreed to negotiate with China just a bit too soon. If the tariffs were truly hitting the Commies harder than us, not sure why we couldn't have let them sweat at least long enough for one (fully-tariffed) ship to cross the Pacific. Let them get desperate.” https://x.com/chinaadventures/status/1922489116186280321?t=bkjrWaugvcFsj11wBDEADA&s=19 Unbeaten (My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China): Unbeaten.vip Pray for China (May 17-23): https://chinacall.substack.com/p/pray-for-china-may-17-23-2025 The Memoirs of William Milne (200th Anniversary Edition!): https://a.co/d/bALLtAf Please follow/subscribe to China Compass and leave a review on your favorite platform.

Welcome to this special episode of the China Compass Podcast, #30 in the weekly “Prison Pulpit” series! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (http://PrayforChina.us). To learn more about our various ministry endeavors and to get any of the missionary biographies I’ve published, visit www.PrayGiveGo.us! I wanted to begin by reminding everyone why I started this 2nd weekly China Compass podcast. I want to encourage people to pray for Pastor Wang Yi (and others like him, as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us) by sharing from his own words and sermons. (We’ve also looked at sermons from Richard Wurmbrand.) Earlier this month, I told the story of my arrest and interrogation seven years ago… Get my book and other special content @ UNBEATEN.VIP!
