AJ's big, grand vacation to SE Asia, complete with pretty caddies and full body MRIs, ends before it begins. Nixed. Kaput. Cancelled. The boys take guesses at who's to blame for the calamity and well… the result kinda speaks for itself. (Tip: One finger salute to @qatarairways.) After all the ranting and arm waving, AJ opens the floor for suggestions on how to fill the rest of his staycation. The boys ponder a multitude of golf activities while pining for a little more Tiger on the tube. The guys also run through the Warped Tour DC lineup for 2026 to gauge the Iceman's interest but he's too busy fantasy booking WWDC '26. No macrodosing here, it's a full 10mg dose of show this week.

How South-east Asia can navigate the age of AI and its impact on the economy and employment. Synopsis: Every second Friday of the month, The Straits Times’ senior columnist Ravi Velloor distils 45 years of experience covering the Asian continent, with expert guests. Artificial Intelligence is impacting the world at a pace far greater than that of previous general-purpose technologies, such as the steam engine, electricity, and computing. As the world adjusts to the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, marked by tremendous advances in automation and robotics, it now faces the Fifth Industrial Revolution, the era of AI and its impressive ability to perform cognitive tasks normally performed by humans. In this episode, host Ravi Velloor speaks with the eminent economist Dr Khor Hoe Ee, who witnessed the Latin American debt crisis and the Asian financial crisis. Dr Khor, formerly Chief Economist at AMRO, has also seen how events like Covid-19 have had a major impact on the economy. They discuss how the US and China dominate the AI space, the speed of disruption, which South-east Asian economies are most exposed and what firms in the region can do to cope with the impact of this new technology. They also cover other topics, for instance: What happens to employment as we know it? Is there a threat of widespread deflation? Should we consider a universal basic income? Highlights (click/tap above): 4:19 The Fifth Industrial Revolution of AI is like no other period in history 7:56 South-east Asia’s options when US, China lead in AI 11:34 Jobs at risk; from radiology to business process outsourcing 12:00 Prospects for Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines 16:52 Is there a case for Universal Basic Incomes with future disruption in the market? 18:41 Who’ll win the AI race and how the region should position itself Read Ravi's columns: https://str.sg/3xRP Follow Ravi on X: https://twitter.com/RaviVelloor Sign up for ST’s weekly Asian Insider newsletter: https://str.sg/sfpz Host: Ravi Velloor (velloor@sph.com.sg) Produced and edited by: Chen Junyi and Fa'izah Sani Executive producer: Ernest Luis Follow Asian Insider Podcast on Fridays here: Channel: https://str.sg/JWa7 Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWa8 Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaX Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg SPH Awedio app: https://www.awedio.sg --- Follow more ST podcast channels: All-in-one ST Podcasts channel: https://str.sg/wvz7 Get more updates: http://str.sg/stpodcasts The Usual Place Podcast YouTube: https://str.sg/4Vwsa --- Get The Straits Times app, which has a dedicated podcast player section: The App Store: https://str.sg/icyB Google Play: https://str.sg/icyX --- #STAsianInsiderSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘We don't chase what we would like to do; we chase the combination of what the technology allows and what the regulation enables today." — Glen Lynch, CEO of #Volatus Aerospace. At our annual, invitation-only, C-level event, Aerial Cities 2025 in Dublin, the conversation moved past "#drone hype" into the hard reality of sovereign defense and unit economics. In an exclusive interview with Marta Shavgulidze of @murzilliconsulting, Glen Lynch revealed how Volatus is transforming into a cornerstone of #Canada's industrial base. Highlights from the interview: With 75% of every Canadian #defense dollar currently leaving the country, Volatus is "repatriating" spend through its new 200,000 sq. ft. Hub. Mission Volatus has cracked the code on labor costs. By moving from a 2:1 pilot-to-drone ratio to 1:5, they are delivering a staggering 70% reduction in field personnel costs. While Canada is the primary focus, Volatus targeted Africa, SE Asia and USA as critical markets With $10.6M+ quarterly revenue and a $9M #NATO contract on the horizon for Q1 2026, Volatus is proving that "practical visionaries" win the race.

Vital need for insurance to bridge the region’s ‘protection gap’ and drive the green transition. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Insurance is a safety net and is increasingly vital as climate change risks grow and as more people, homes and businesses are in the path of disaster. But in South-east Asia, the majority of people do not have access to insurance. And the region is facing worsening threats from floods, sea-level rise and heat stress. Only 5 to 7 per cent of all climate-related losses are insured in South-east Asia, says Mr Daniel Fairweather, head of food security systems and biodiversity at Howden, an insurance broking firm. But there is plenty of hope to bridge this “protection gap”, he tells Green Pulse podcast hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty. There are insurance products that can help communities when disaster strikes by rapidly releasing cash payments to meet emergency needs. Mutualised insurance risk pools that combine premiums can also pay out in times of need. Two things are key: Insurers need to work closely with governments and businesses to better assess climate risks and vulnerabilities. Secondly, spread the financial risk by building connections across the region, such as linking up local and national insurance mechanisms, such as risk pools. “Every risk is insurable,” Mr Fairweather says, adding that insurance coverage is also critical to accelerate green investments in the region. Have a listen, and let us know what you think! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:04 What are some of South-east Asia’s top climate change risks? 4:51 Will insurance losses increase mainly because of climate change or for other reasons, too? 9:10 What are some of the insurance products that can protect communities in the region? 16:06 In some places in the US, insurance coverage has been withdrawn.

Vital need for insurance to bridge the region’s ‘protection gap’ and drive the green transition. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Insurance is a safety net and is increasingly vital as climate change risks grow and as more people, homes and businesses are in the path of disaster. But in South-east Asia, the majority of people do not have access to insurance. And the region is facing worsening threats from floods, sea-level rise and heat stress. Only 5 to 7 per cent of all climate-related losses are insured in South-east Asia, says Mr Daniel Fairweather, head of food security systems and biodiversity at Howden, an insurance broking firm. But there is plenty of hope to bridge this “protection gap”, he tells Green Pulse podcast hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty. There are insurance products that can help communities when disaster strikes by rapidly releasing cash payments to meet emergency needs. Mutualised insurance risk pools that combine premiums can also pay out in times of need. Two things are key: Insurers need to work closely with governments and businesses to better assess climate risks and vulnerabilities. Secondly, spread the financial risk by building connections across the region, such as linking up local and national insurance mechanisms, such as risk pools. “Every risk is insurable,” Mr Fairweather says, adding that insurance coverage is also critical to accelerate green investments in the region. Have a listen, and let us know what you think! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 1:04 What are some of South-east Asia’s top climate change risks? 4:51 Will insurance losses increase mainly because of climate change or for other reasons, too? 9:10 What are some of the insurance products that can protect communities in the region? 16:06 In some places in the US, insurance coverage has been withdrawn. What’s the reason for this? 24:28 What about the role of insurance in boosting green initiatives in South-east Asia. Is it a catalyst? 28:28 Can the insurance industry thrive despite the rapid march of climate change?

What we're hearing across all sectors of agriculture is that having a reliable workforce remains a number one challenge today. Karen Gefvert, chief policy officer for Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and Voice of Milk, says it’s an issue the organization is deeply engaged in. In talking with Stephanie Hoff, Gefvert notes that this has been a 40-year battle. She says the current system doesn't work for dairy. Dairy farmers need an entry-level workforce. The only program that can address that is H2A, but dairy is prohibited from using it.Not much moisture in the latest forecast from Stu Muck. Temperatures remain on track for the last few days of October. Muck also notes a statewide FFA Foundation Auction that's happening now.Knowing a company's origins and roots can help explain how they do business. Pam Jahnke talks with Ashley Huhn about how the Steffes Group actually got started, and why they take pride in creating their own systems not just relying on third party services to handle business. Paid for by Steffes Group.Wisconsin dairy farmer, John Rosenow, has been a vocal proponent of immigration reform for decades. His dairy operation in the Waumandee Valley of western Wisconsin relies heavily on immigrant labor. Rosenow has joined a newly formed coalition called "Grow It Here" that's trying to advance meaningful immigration reform for agriculture. Rosenow says of his 18 full-time workers, 13 are from Mexico. Today's H2A visas don't work for dairy.The market's feeling more optimistic today after a weekend full of trade announcements out of SE Asia. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend tells Pam Jahnke that it's good news for corn, soybean meal, pork and beef. There's also still a buzz about potential trade developments with China. Still the gorilla in the room according to Heinberg.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A greener, climate-friendly future is an opportunity to do well financially and not just to do good. Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. What is it like to be on the frontline of climate finance and investing? To many, it might seem a pretty challenging time, with some nations and big oil and gas firms doubling down on fossil fuels. And the world is distracted with wars and upended trade flows. But to Ms Kyung-Ah Park, Chief Sustainability Officer for Singapore investment firm Temasek, there’s plenty to be hopeful about. Investors are increasingly looking at the opportunities in South-east Asia, a huge market of 700 million people with growing energy needs. Sure, there are headwinds, she tells Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty, with AI soaking up a lot of investment cash, plus geopolitics and policy uncertainty buffeting investors. But the direction is clear. As a long-term investor, the clean energy and transition agendas are a “must do”, she says. It’s just good business and a lot of investors are staying the course. And the trick is to make green investments appealing, with different layers of risk and reward that attract investors with differing appetites, a bit like a sandwich.

In January of this year, Chinese actor Wang Xing went viral after being kidnapped in Thailand having travelled for what he thought was a job opportunity, only to be rescued after his girlfriend made a post begging for the authorities to help. After a 4 day ordeal, Wang made a dramatic TV appearance alongside Thai police, with his head shaved but otherwise seemingly unscathed.Wang's case shed light on an issue that had been getting little coverage in the national press. To date, over 3,000 Chinese nationals are being held in scam compounds in Southeast Asian nations like Cambodia and Laos, many of them run by other Chinese nationals. What caused the rise of these scam centres? How do they target Chinese white collar workers? Why is the Chinese government not doing anything to shut these operations down?Let's explore the world of sprawling forced labour compounds in Southeast Asia, their ties to local governments and police, and how they're getting rich in crypto scams targeting pensioners in pig-butchering schemes around the world.Chapters (00:00) Introduction(04:00) The rise of scams around the world(06:09) SE Asian scam centres and their targets(21:45) The rise of the scam centres and pig-butchering scams(33:00) No justice, no peace of mindLatest Substack post: https://sinobabble.substack.com/p/i-asked-4-china-experts-4-questions?r=bgkuvSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod

China's “Belt and Road Initiative” is a multi-trillion dollar global infrastructure project that harkens back to its original Silk Road roots to connect the regions of the world into a massive trade network. The project is currently underway and is expected to be completed in the middle part of the century, but the project isn't without controversy. The two-pronged approach features the Silk Road Economic Belt which connects countries and regions through road and rail projects and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road which connects China to ports in SE Asia, South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. Can China pull off the most ambitious construction project in the history of the world, or is it simply a covert way of enslaving unsuspecting countries into a devious debt trap laid by the CCP?
