Strategic Independence After China — Gregory Copley — Copley traces Australia's historical American security dependency to the 1941 Singapore surrender and subsequent reliance on U.S. military protection against regional threats. Copley notes that Canada possesses potential opportunity to fundamentally rethink military procurement and strategic positioning amid escalating political rifts with the Trump administration. Copley observes that both Commonwealthnations are gradually recognizing the diminishing salience of China as a peer threat and consequently reconsidering the necessity of independent strategic capabilities alongside their continuing participation in the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance. 1944 BURMA

In this episode we return to Singapore and commodity trading in Asia. Is Singapore still a must -have hub as part of a global commodity footprint? What are the key commodities traded there? How do those markets differ from Europe and North America? How has the broader Asia-Pacific region fared over the last decade? And what are some of the key challenges, both market and cultural to doing there? And what might the future hold? Our guest is Ian Lawson, who's had a multi -decade career in trading and origination, including heading those functions in Singapore for the likes of BP and Mercuria and is now a senior advisor at Baringa, the management consultancy.

A Malaysian man, Rajwant Singh Gill Narajan Singh, 38, was convicted in Singapore for an elaborate scheme that involved posing as a wealthy, white "sugar daddy" to lure Singaporean women to Malaysia, where he proceeded to cheat, extort, and sexually exploit them.Operating between 2018 and 2020, Singh used dating applications, such as Tinder, to create a fabricated persona named "Mike"—a successful Caucasian man who claimed to live on a yacht in Malaysia. He would offer his victims substantial monthly allowances, such as US$30,000, in exchange for a "sugar daddy" arrangement, first requesting that they send him sexually explicit photos and videos.Once the victims flew to Malaysia, Singh would execute a cruel double role. He would introduce himself to the victims as "Mike's" driver. Using this persona, he would then coerce the women into having sex with him, claiming that "Mike" had instructed it, or that he was being threatened by his boss. If the victims refused, he would threaten to disseminate the explicit materials they had previously sent.One victim was extorted of over S$183,000 (US$140,970). She was also blackmailed into engaging in sex work, with Singh (as "Mike") choosing the clients and taking her payments. Disturbingly, court proceedings revealed that another victim had been flogged and whipped until injury.Singh was eventually arrested in a joint covert operation conducted by the Singapore Police Force and the Royal Malaysian Police Force and was charged in Singapore. The prosecution sought a heavy sentence of 13 years' jail and 15 strokes of the cane, labeling Singh's crimes as "horrific and perverse" and describing him as "effectively a serial rapist" for the extent of his coercion and psychological abuse. Singh was convicted on multiple charges, including cheating for sex and extortion. His sentencing was adjourned following the conviction.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

A composer, writer, and presenter, Andrew Ford is a unique and highly valued voice in Australia's musical landscape. His music has been heard all around the world, from Sydney to New York, and London to Singapore. It's been conducted by Jeffrey Tate and Benjamin Northey, played by Piers Lane and Lisa Moore, and sung by Yvonne Kenney and Teddy Tahu-Rhodes. He's educated us with his 11 books, most recently The Shortest History of Music, and entertained and enlightened us with his three-decade long presentation of The Music Show on Radio National.In this conversation, Andrew reflects on discovering composition as a teenager and how an encounter with Michael Tippett shaped his artistic outlook. He discusses balancing technique with intuition, the magic of hearing a work for the first time, and accepting that self-criticism and the realities of needing to finish a work are part of the creative process. Andrew also provides some fascinating cultural observations, especially on the history and future of music, innovation versus tradition, how audiences shape what endures, and how genres once thought ephemeral have matured into a kind of canon. This program was recorded at the 2025 Australian Festival of Chamber Music. The next Australian Festival of Chamber Music will take place in Cairns from July 24 to August 1, 2026.

Our South Asia Energy Analyst Mayank Maheshwari discusses how the unprecedented demand to power AI is set to transform the power industry for years to come.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Mayank Maheshwari: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mayank Maheshwari, Morgan Stanley's South Asia Energy Analyst. Today: how AI and electrification are rewriting the rules of global power. It's Tuesday, December 2nd at 9 pm in Singapore. If you've noticed your electricity bills are climbing and headlines are buzzing with talk of AI, you're not alone. The way we use – and need – power is changing fast, and it's impacting everyone from homeowners to major tech companies. Global power consumption is surging at the fastest pace in over a decade. Annual demand is set to rise by more than one trillion kilowatt-hours every year through 2030, with AI-driven data centers contributing nearly a fifth of that growth. We estimate about [U.S.]$3 trillion investments in datacenters by 2028, with power consumption growth of nearly about 126GW in these three years till [20]28. This is almost as large as Canada's total [annual] power consumption. And in this context, power prices are set to further rise. In 2024 – the latest full-year data available – global power sector investments hit a new high of $1.5 trillion, and consumer power prices have risen by about 15 percent. By 2030, U.S. power markets will account for half of the global data center power consumption. And Asia will also see about a 15 percent spillover of that U.S. hyperscaler demand, which will be also part of why some of the power markets in Asia will get a lot tighter. As power consumption rises, the difference between the price at which electricity is sold and the cost to generate it – also known as power spreads – are likely to rise by nearly 15 percent. This expansion in profit margins could lead to higher earnings forecasts for power generation companies and create $350 billion in value creation through the entire power supply chain. At the same time, years of under-investments in electric grids have led to bottlenecks, sparking a wave of new spending and pushing the industry to rely more on natural gas and energy storage and other new technologies – while also supporting that option of renewable power. In 2024, gas investments hit record highs, and starting in 2026 gas is set to become a new truly global source of new power generation. Looking ahead, natural gas is expected to meet about a fifth of [the] world's new power needs, excluding China. And nuclear energy is well positioned for increased investments; while batteries – which is energy storage – is also getting to get a new set in terms of new investments across datacenters and in markets like China . Moving forward, the power industry faces a multi-decade transformation, marked by unexpected shifts and opportunities. We'll see increased collaboration between fossil and non-fossil fuels, wider adoption of tiered pricing, and a surge in spot market and behind-the-meter sales all driving longer-lasting, elevated power spreads. Gas, nuclear, energy storage, and fuel cell supply chains – especially in Asia and the U.S. – stand to gain from stronger pricing power [and] new growth prospects, while grid operators benefit from higher investment and better returns. On the flip side, pure solar and wind producers may continue to see rising costs in Asia, something we have already seen in [the] U.S. and Europe, as [the] global grid leans more on batteries and steady fossil fuel supplies to balance the requirements of the rising needs of power across the supply chains – in AI as well as domestic utilization of manufacturing. Ultimately, as AI and electrification supercharge power demand, the real challenge isn't just adding renewables. It's about building a resilient, flexible grid and navigating the new economics of energy. Thanks for listening.

“If a single camera setting can change how you see yourself, what else are you missing when you look at the world around you?” In this eye-opening episode of The JB and Sandy Show, JB, Sandy, and Tricia invite listeners to see the familiar in a whole new light—starting with the perfect selfie. Inspired by a viral Brendan Fraser moment, the hosts reveal a simple iPhone trick that transforms even the most “unphotogenic” among us. Tricia confesses, “I hope I'm the mirror version of me and not the photo version of me,” as the crew experiments with portrait mode, contour lighting, and the elusive timer feature, blending humor and humility in their quest for the ultimate self-portrait. But the episode quickly zooms out from the personal to the global. How dirty—or downright filthy—is Austin compared to the world's most notorious cities? The team dives into a surprising list of the filthiest places on earth, debating whether Budapest, Paris, or Las Vegas deserve their reputations. Tricia, a seasoned traveler, shares, “There were definitely some spots where you're like, hmm, smells like pee right here. But I mean, no worse than…New York or New Orleans.” The conversation is peppered with stories of neighborhood clean-up heroes, the realities of urban life, and the quirks of city rankings. From there, the show takes a nostalgic and sometimes hilarious turn into schoolyard memories—when “getting a lick” from the principal was a real possibility—and the strange wisdom of the Farmer's Almanac. The hosts question the science (or lack thereof) behind long-range weather predictions, marveling at the Almanac's “secret formula” and the enduring power of folklore. “They claim an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent. I'm going with Jim Spencer over the farmer man,” Sandy jokes, as the group debates whether to trust meteorologists or the bushiness of a squirrel's tail.Other highlights include:The world's cleanest cities and the surprising return of caning in Singapore.Animal instincts and what squirrels can teach us about preparing for winter.Tornado drills, childhood fears, and the unpredictability of Texas weather.With sharp wit, relatable stories, and a dash of curiosity, this episode challenges listeners to look beyond the surface—whether it's a selfie, a city, or a weather forecast. You'll laugh, you'll reminisce, and you might just see the world a little differently.Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments“I hope I'm the mirror version of me and not the photo version of me.”“There were definitely some spots where you're like, hmm, smells like pee right here.”“They claim an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent.

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall dig into the morass that is the British “problem” in Malaya following the Japanese invasion.  Just before the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese launched the Invasion of Malaya, landing on several beaches and quickly moving inland.  British colonial troop's reaction to the Japanese advance was both slow and improper, leading to cataclysmic defeats at Jitra, Slim River and Muar, in December 1941, and January 1942.  By the time the Japanese have beaten the Brits back at Mura, they are poised to make their final devastating run to Singapore.  The Malayan campaign, as expertly described by Jon, remains the worst military defeat in the long and storied history of the British Army.  Tune in to hear all about the debacle.  #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack #salvaged #medalofhonor #tarawa #malayalam

Singapore’s urban map is being rewritten — but what does that mean for your money? In this episode hosted by Michelle Martin, we unpack the newly gazetted URA Master Plan 2025 and what decentralisation, regional hubs, and mixed-use districts mean for long-term value. CapitaLand Development (Singapore) CEO Ronald Tay joins us to reveal how CLD is interpreting national policy into real projects shaping innovation clusters and new residential communities like LyndenWoods. We explore why Science Park is finally ready for homes, who the first-mover buyers really are, and how mixed-use hubs may shift investor thinking beyond the traditional core. From Jurong Lake District to Punggol Digital District, we examine where the next wave of growth corridors could emerge. If the future of appreciation lies outside the CBD, this is the roadmap investors need to hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"This was not a short squeeze rally... This was real, honest-to-goodness, new money buyers coming in," says Todd "Bubba" Horwitz. As silver smashes through $58 for its best year since 1980, a bombshell rumor detonates: JP Morgan may have quietly evacuated its precious metals trading desk from New York to Singapore over a holiday weekend. In today's interview, Horwitz breaks down the fallout. He connects the dots between vanishing physical stockpiles, suspicious market "glitches," and a brewing economic storm to reveal why this rally has legs. He warns this is the "inflation trade" made manifest—a flight to the one asset you can hold, smell, and pass on, as the foundations of the paper economy begin to crack.✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

In this Side Mirror, I want to talk about something we all experience — the knowing–doing gap.We live in a world where more knowledge is available to us than to any humans who lived before us. And yet… if knowledge alone were enough, we'd all be billionaires with six-packs by now.Clearly, there's more to performance than just information.Today, I want to explore why that gap exists — and invite you to cross it by actually using the Fulfilling Performance framework, rather than simply understanding it intellectually.About AndyI'm a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—a simple, practical way to help leaders cut through silos, get people pulling in the same direction, and build ownership and accountability, so organisations perform better and their people thrive.Over the past 25+ years, I've led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK. Alongside this, I've coached individuals and delivered leadership programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.In 2016, I founded Aquilae (The Fulfilling Performance Company) to support CEOs and senior leaders in the mobility sector and beyond. Through workshops, peer mentoring, and coaching, we help reduce the unseen friction that drags on performance — and create teams where people deliver, grow, and work constructively together.I'm also the host of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR, where I share the life and career journeys of key players in the automotive and mobility world to surface insights leaders can apply in their own context.Learn more about Fulfilling PerformanceCheck out Release the Handbrake!

If your opening drifts, your audience drifts. In a post-pandemic, hybrid-work world (Zoom, Teams, in-person, and everything in between), attention is brutally expensive and "micro concentration spans" feel even shorter than they used to. So in Part Two, we'll add two more high-impact openings you can apply straight away: storytelling and compliments—done in a way that feels human, not salesy, and definitely not like propaganda.  How do you open a presentation so people actually listen (especially in 2025)? You earn attention in the first 30–60 seconds by giving people a reason to stay—emotionally and intellectually.Think of your opening like a "decision point": your audience is silently choosing between you and their inbox. In Japan, the US, and Europe, the same truth holds across startups and multinationals—whether you're at Toyota, Rakuten, Google, or a five-person SME: the opening must feel relevant now. Post-2020, people are conditioned to click away fast, so your opener needs a clear hook (what's in it for them), credibility (why you), and momentum (where this is going). Storytelling and compliments do that beautifully when they're specific, short, and anchored to the audience's world. Answer card: Attention is a trade—value first, then detail. Do now: Design your first minute like a landing page: hook, proof, direction. Why does storytelling work so well as an opening in business presentations? Storytelling works because people are neurologically trained to follow stories more than opinions. We've grown up with novels, movies, dramas, news—so a story switches the brain from "judge mode" into "follow mode." In business, story is how you create ethos + pathos + logos (Aristotle's persuasion trio) without sounding like you're trying too hard. A story gives context, stakes, and a human being to care about—something a slide can't do. That's why TED talks, executive keynotes, and great sales presentations nearly always open with a moment, not a mission statement. In Japan especially, where trust and context matter, a well-chosen story can quietly establish credibility before you ask for agreement. Answer card: Stories lower resistance and raise attention. Do now: Open with a real incident, not a generic claim. What kind of story should you tell: personal experience or third-party? Personal experience is usually the strongest opening because it's real—and real beats "corporate perfect" every time. People learn fastest from successes, but they lean in for failure-and-recovery stories because they feel true. Here's the contrast: "Let me tell you how I made my first ten million dollars" versus "Let me tell you how I lost my first ten million dollars." Most audiences want the second one—more drama, more learning, more honesty. Over-sharing wins no points, but a clean "war story" with a lesson builds trust fast, whether you're pitching in Sydney, selling in Singapore, or presenting in Tokyo. When personal stories are thin or politically risky, use third-party stories: a customer case, a biography, a documentary moment—borrow credibility without pretending. Answer card: Personal = high trust; third-party = flexible credibility. Do now: Pick one story that teaches a lesson, not one that proves you're perfect. How do you tell a short story when everyone's distracted (Zoom, phones, and micro attention spans)? Keep business stories tight: one scene, one problem, one turning point, one takeaway. Long stories are gone—today's environment punishes rambling. A practical structure leaders and sales teams use is: Setting → Tension → Choice → Result → Lesson. Keep it under 60–90 seconds. Drop details that don't change the meaning. Use "mind's eye" cues—time, place, person, consequence—so the audience can picture it quickly. This is even more important online, where silence feels longer and distraction is one click away. Whether you're inside a conglomerate, a nonprofit, or a SaaS startup, the aim is the same: create a vivid moment that earns the next five minutes of listening. Answer card: Short stories win; long stories leak attention. Do now: Script your opener story to 90 seconds and cut 30% more. How do compliments work as an opening without sounding fake or creepy? A compliment works when it's specific, credible, and linked to the topic—not just flattery. People like compliments, but they hate manipulation. You can compliment (1) the audience's shared experience, (2) the organisation, or (3) an individual—each creates a different kind of connection. Example: connect to a universal fear like public speaking ("Most people fear it because they haven't had training—speaking is learnt"), and suddenly everyone feels included. Or compliment the organisation: "Your reputation for excellence is phenomenal—let me tell you why." That causes curiosity and invokes pride. Individual compliments (e.g., "Tanaka-san said something insightful before we started…") work brilliantly in Japan if done respectfully and accurately. Answer card: Specific compliments create instant rapport. Do now: Compliment what you can prove—then pivot immediately to your message. What should leaders, executives, and salespeople do now to nail the first impression? Plan and rehearse your opening like it's the most important part—because it is. If the start is weak, the message won't transmit, no matter how good your content is. Public speaking has arguably never been harder: the internet is a click away, attention is fragile, and audiences are ruthless about value. So choose your opening tool intentionally, based on context: Story (trust + emotion): best for change leadership, culture, personal credibility Third-party story (proof): best for strategy, risk, evidence-heavy topics Compliment (connection): best for relationship building, cross-cultural settings Question (engagement): best for workshops and interactive sessions Answer card: The opening decides whether people stay. Do now: Build a 3-option opening bank (story / third-party / compliment) and practise each to 60 seconds. Conclusion Storytelling and compliments aren't "nice-to-haves"—they're strategic tools for winning attention and trust at the exact moment your audience is deciding whether you're worth listening to. Keep stories short, human, and lesson-driven. Make compliments specific and relevant, not syrupy. And remember: the opening isn't warm-up; it's the gateway. Get that right, and the rest of your talk has a fighting chance to land, stick, and move people to action.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Welcome back to Bri Books podcast! If this is your first time, WELCOME! And if you're a return listener from the last 6 (!!!!!!) years, welcome back. Bri Books is now also on YouTube: watch here. Today is November 30th, marking not just the beginning of Advent season, but the beginning of BriCember! What is BriCember? BriCember is a personal project wherein I challenge myself to produce and publish a podcast episode a day in the month of December. Not only is December my birth month, it's also the perfect time of the year to catch up on where you've been and where you're going. What's Coming Up This BriCember? In 2025, I'll be approaching BriCember through the lens of literature, with lots of recommendations of what to read. But I'm also aligning it not just with the month, but with how we think of time. This BriCember will be aligned with the moon phases. But Wait, Where Have You Been, Bri?I've spent most of 2025 in flux, in the most beautiful way. Last year, in 2024, I began a new career at JPMorganChase. In 2025, I started to find my professional stride. I also moved house in 2025! I moved from one apartment in Brooklyn to another, and I'm nesting. We'll be doing deep dives into winter food as well this BriCember. Also, I'm still reeling from the fallout of my mothers' death. That's a constant on my mind. Which brings me to….writing! I'm officially writing again, and I'm focused on writing and publishing in 2026. I'm giving myself the rest of the year to sharpen up my writing, so I can graduate to having an agent and finishing my book. I've been reorganizing my life in very tiny, quiet ways, and art has been a big part of 2025. I've been painting, and I've been traveling. I'm grateful that travel has been part of my working life in 2025. This year, I went to Sydney, Australia; Tokyo, Japan; Hong Kong; and Singapore, in addition to Western China and Mexico. Prayerfully there will be more travel in 2026. What's Coming in BriCember 2025 I've broken each week of December according to the moon cycles. Week 1: All about wine! Holiday wine menu planning, how to spend $60 at your local wine shop, Austrian wine, Madeira, orange wine, and having fun learning about terroir in the wine world. Week 2: Winter reset! We'll shift into how to prepare for a restful winter, my favorite health and beauty picks of 2025, gentle goal-setting, how to go gently into the new year; what to grow and sow in the new year! Lifestyle toolkit; manifestation journaling and how to get started; a winter mid-season check-in; Week 3: Cozy-maxxing! Winter recipes, soups, and spices; winter food rituals; what's in season at the farmers market in winter; deep winter books/ the best books to hunker down with this winter Week 4: Prepping! What we want to bring into 2026 (and what we're leaving in 2025); gratitude journaling; manifestation journaling; how to round out 2025 gently and with discernment.   Listen to Bri Books and find @BrionnaJay on Instagram.

Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys talk to Soh Rui Yong on the phone from Tokyo where he set a new Singapore 10,000m national record of 30min 33.29sec on Saturday while running at the Nittaidai Challenge. He first broke the 10,000m record 11.5 years ago by running 31:15. Talking to Singapore’s five-time national marathon champion, Rui Yong, is preparing for an unprecedented test of endurance at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon next weekend. For the first time, the half-marathon and full-marathon will be held on separate days—December 6 and 7—and Rui Yong is going to run both and aims to win both. Fresh off his 2024 national marathon title, Soh is aiming for a historic double victory while keeping his eyes firmly on the 10,000m gold medal at the upcoming SEA Games in Thailand. With the athletics competition scheduled just days after the marathon weekend, his decision raises eyebrows: is this a daring strategy or sheer madness? Rui Yong shares his mindset, training approach, and why this double-up challenge is also a stepping stone toward a future in ultramarathons like South Africa’s Two Oceans (56km) and Comrades Marathon (88km). At 35, he’s redefining what it means to push limits, balancing ambition with resilience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Michael Goh, President of StarDream Cruises, to discuss how the company achieved a double win at the Travel Weekly Asia 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards—being named Best Cruise Line – Asia and Best Cruise Line – Entertainment. Since 2022, StarDream Cruises has consistently raised the bar in hospitality, earning accolades for cuisine, entertainment, and regional excellence. Michael shares the secrets behind this success: a blend of deep-rooted Asian heritage, world-class service, and innovative entertainment that continues to delight guests across the region. We explore how StarDream stays ahead in a competitive industry, from expanding itineraries across Southeast Asia and Japan to offering unique embarkation options from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong. Michael also gives us a glimpse into what’s next for 2026, including new routes, enhanced onboard experiences, and the evolving role of cruising in Asia’s tourism landscape.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the International News Review... Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Bloomberg News Editor Joanna Ossinger to unpack the headlines dominating Asia. We begin in Hong Kong, where tragedy has struck with the death toll rising to over 130 after the devastating Tai Po fire. Officials now admit fire alarms were not working properly, raising urgent questions about safety standards and accountability. Next, we turn to Thailand, where “once in 300 years” rainfall has triggered catastrophic floods across Southeast Asia. Joanna explains the scale of the disaster and its implications for climate resilience in the region. Closer to home, Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s remarks on the China-Japan spat over Taiwan have sparked a wave of online barbs and spin from Chinese netizens. We explore what this reaction reveals about regional sensitivities and Singapore’s longstanding diplomatic stance. And finally, a bizarre story from Bangkok: temple staff were stunned when a woman, believed dead, began moving inside her coffin moments before cremation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Janet Cheung, every space begins with a feeling. Born in Sydney, raised in Hong Kong, and now based in Singapore, she brings a global rhythm to design. As Studio Principal at Peter Silling and Associates, Janet has spent over fifteen years shaping hospitality experiences that move people, from grand hotels and casinos to quiet cocktail bars that hum with intimacy. To her, design is emotional choreography, a song written in light, texture, and rhythm. A place, she says, should guide you like music does: through arrival and build-up, pause and reveal — each note drawing you closer, not just to the space, but to the people within it. In this conversation, Janet shares how thoughtful design can help us linger a little longer, build connection, and even heal. From the memories that spaces hold to the universal truths that transcend culture, she reminds us that behind every great interior is a story that stays with you long after you've left. [Her Story] 1. How living across Sydney, Hong Kong, and Singapore shaped her global eye for design 2. She describes every project as a song, layered, intimate, and unforgettable 3. A glimpse into some of the signature spaces she's crafted 4. Why the future of design and luxury is rooted in emotional sustainability, in how a space can comfort and heal 加入會員，支持節目： https://careher.firstory.io/join 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cky6u8bgpwpn00858w0xrike6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

The captain of an A380 that experienced an uncontained engine failure, paying air traffic controllers during a shutdown, a $10,000 bonus for those who worked, NTSB preliminary report on UPS Flight 2976, a request for information on a new ATC system, dressing better when flying commercially, and going through airport security without a Real ID. Guest Richard De Crespigny was the captain of Qantas Flight QF32 on November 4, 2010, when one of the plane's Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines experienced an uncontained engine failure. The A380 had just taken off from Singapore. Richard and his crew managed to get everyone home safely, and the story has since become a bit of a legend in Australian flying circles. Richard is a former RAAF pilot, has written books, given keynotes around the world, and now hosts his own podcast on resilience and leadership called FLY! Richard explains that the uncontained engine failure on Qantas Flight QF32 involved the Number 2 engine. This resulted in extensive damage to the aircraft and many system failures. Five pilots were in the cockpit, and they formed a “hive mind,” making hundreds of decisions to stabilize the aircraft, which took two hours. A hundred checklists were actioned in the air, and more when the A380 was back on the ground. The incident was so complex that it has been characterized as “Apollo 13 with passengers.” We learn what was said in the cockpit during the first 30 seconds, and how the cabin crew performed because the flight deck could not communicate with them. In his mind, Richard set up to perform an “Armstrong Spiral” in case all four engines went out when landing the plane. On approach, speed and stall warnings were sounding constantly because the systems could not handle all the damage. Richard explains why he decided not to immediately evacuate the passengers due to the dangers outside. This uncontained engine failure crippled the A380, yet the crew was able to manage the situation and there were no injuries. Richard speaks frequently of “resilience” and how that characteristic worked to their advantage.  QF32 uncontained engine failure. From the FAA Airbus A380-842 report, crediting the ATSB accident report. Since the incident, Richard has published several books: QF32 tells the story of what happened. It was published before the investigators made all the facts public, so Richard had to hold back. However, a new edition will fill in the missing pieces. The newer book Fly! tells the how and the why. Check out: The FLY! Podcast with Richard De Crespigny, available on Apple / Spotify / Omny, or wherever you listen to podcasts. The QF32 book and the FLY! book. Reach Richard at richardd@aeronaut.biz. Aviation News US airline group urges Congress to pay controllers during future shutdowns Trade group Airlines for America (A4A) wants to see air traffic controllers get paid during future government shutdowns. Chris Sununu, A4A President and CEO, said, “This shutdown has demonstrated the serious safety, human and economic consequences of subjecting the aviation sector to this kind of stress and chaos. It must never happen again.” Air Traffic Controllers Say $10,000 Shutdown Bonuses Are Tearing the Workforce Apart – And Jeopardize Safety The Administration wants to give air traffic controllers and TSA screeners $10,000 if they had perfect attendance during the shutdown. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said this would apply to 776 employees. Some controllers are expressing their displeasure with this move. UPS Flight 2976 Crash During Takeoff The NTSB has issued a Preliminary Report [PDF] on the UPS Flight 2967 MD-11F accident November 4, 2025. The airplane, N259UP, was destroyed after it impacted the ground shortly after takeoff from runway 17R at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), Louisville, Kentucky. The 3 crewmembers aboard the airplane and 11 people on the ground were fatally injured. There were 23 others on the ground who were injured. Still images from an airport surveillance video show the left engine and left pylon separation from the left wing. The left pylon aft mount's forward and aft lugs were both found fractured. The fractured and separated upper portions of the forward and aft lugs were found adjacent to runway 17R. The left wing clevis, aft mount spherical bearing, and aft mount attachment hardware were found with a portion of the left wing at the accident site. The spherical bearing outer race had fractured circumferentially. FAA Issues Request for Information on New ATC System The FAA aims to replace the current En Route Automation Modernization system (ERAM) and the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) with a single, unified system, known as the Common Automation Platform (CAP). The Agency's Request For Information [PDF] asks the public to answer a series of questions. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Urges Passengers To Dress Better — But That Won't Fix Today's Inflight Behavior Problems DOT Secretary Sean Duffy tweeted that “Manners don't stop at the gate. Be courteous to your fellow passengers. Say please and thank you to your flight crews. Dress with respect. Lend a hand to those who could use it. It’s time to bring back civility and respect when we travel.” See also: Sean Duffy Wants You To Get Dressed Up When You Fly: “It's Time to Bring Back Civility And Respect When We Travel” No Real ID or passport? The TSA may charge you $18 to go through security May 7, 2025, was the date that Real ID was enforced at TSA checkpoints. Travelers must produce a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, a passport, a Global Entry card, or other approved document. The TSA is now proposing that travelers without one of those approved documents can still pass through airport security checkpoints. However, they can expect to pay an $18 fee for additional screening. The TSA has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register: TSA Modernized Alternative Identity Verification User Fee. The fee grants access to secure airport areas for up to 10 days and covers multiple flights. Payment of the fee does not guarantee entry; travelers must successfully authenticate their identity each time, and they may still face additional screening or delays.​ The collected fee is intended to offset government costs for new biometric verification kiosks, customer service improvements, and system updates.​ Hosts this Episode Max Flight, Rob Mark, and our Main(e) Man Micah.

Is the UK quietly slipping into the role of a cautious observer while other nations shape the future of AI with greater confidence and intent? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Rav Hayer, Managing Director at ThoughtWorks and Head of BFSI, to explore why our approach to AI regulation may be slowing progress at a time when momentum matters.  We move beyond the headlines of multi-billion pound investment announcements and look at what is really happening on the ground for business leaders trying to innovate in an environment shaped by uncertainty, shifting guidance, and risk aversion. Throughout our conversation, Rav shares his perspective on how this climate is affecting founders, scaleups, and established enterprises alike. We examine why so much British innovation still finds its way overseas, and what that says about ownership, long-term competitiveness, and the confidence gap holding many organisations back.  I also ask Rav to compare the UK's position with regions such as Singapore, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia, where proactive regulation is being used to encourage innovation rather than create friction. Together, we unpack the hidden costs of ambiguity, from time lost in legal interpretation to talent being drawn away from building meaningful progress at home. We close the episode on a more human note as Rav reflects on his personal journey, the role his parents played in shaping his work ethic, and the values that continue to guide his leadership today. As the UK weighs protection against progress, should we continue to step carefully, or is it time to show greater conviction and direction in our AI strategy? I would love to hear your thoughts on where that balance should sit. What do you think, and how should the UK move forward from here?
