🌍On MoneyFM 89.3’s International News Review, Steve Okun joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen to unpack a week where Southeast Asian diplomacy, global justice, and viral oddities collide.

Thailand’s push for Myanmar’s full return to ASEAN is a move that could reshape regional unity and test the bloc’s long‑standing principle of non‑interference. Steve breaks down what’s driving Bangkok’s stance and why other ASEAN members are far more cautious.

Then inside Myanmar, where American Adam Castillo’s surprise release after months in detention raises questions about U.S.–Myanmar relations, back‑channel diplomacy, and what Washington may have quietly negotiated.

Next: a global shockwave from the UN, as investigators accuse U.S. forces of potential war‑crimes violations in multiple theatres. Steve explains the political fallout and the implications.

And in Singapore, seniors are going viral  after their parcour‑kicking and tumbling moves stunned viewers with their agility and attitude.
