Malaysian actor Zhang Yaodong spotted manning steamed seafood stall in Singapore
In a Xiaohongshu post, the user said the stall belongs to Zhang Yaodong and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. Photos: Xiaohongshu Singapore-based Malaysian actor Zhang Yaodong was spotted manning a steamed seafood stall at coffee shop 9007 Kopitiam in the Tampines industrial area on June 4. Clad in a plain white tee, the 47-year-old was standing in front of the cash register and appeared to be taking orders from customers. The Xiaohongshu user who posted about the sighting on June 4 said the stall belongs to Zhang and he was working that day because his employee had resigned. Amid the hustle and bustle, the user noted that the former Mediacorp artiste was polite, and affirmed Zhang in her post by saying that there is nothing better than correcting one's behaviour after making a mistake. The bachelor's image took a hit in July 2024 when rumours surfaced about him fathering children out of wedlock with women of different nationalities. The allegations resulted in him filing a police report, with his manager adding that he will not be addressing the issue again. But in November 2024, Zhang took to Instagram to commemorate his holiday to South Korea with his two daughters, confirming his father status for the first time. In February, Mediacorp's talent management agency The Celebrity Agency stated it was no longer representing him and that he has not participated in the filming of any new shows. Zhang, whose parents used to be hawkers, reportedly used to run a catering business and opened a roast meat stall in a foodcourt. He also ventured into Taiwanese cuisine, selling beef noodles in his home town of Kuala Lumpur. In 2017, he opened an Asian fusion restaurant, Maru, in Tanjong Pagar, but it has since closed. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

GlobalFoundries boosts investment plans to $16 billion, with research focus
FILE PHOTO: A screen displays the company logo for semiconductor and chipmaker GlobalFoundries Inc. during the company's IPO at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square in New York City, U.S., October 28, 2021. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -Chip manufacturer GlobalFoundries said on Wednesday it planned to increase its investment plans to $16 billion, allocating an additional $1 billion to capital spending and $3 billion to research in several emerging chip technologies. The Malta, New York-based company said it is working with the Trump administration to bring chip manufacturing technology and various components of that supply chain onto U.S. soil. The chip manufacturer attributed the expansion to the boom in artificial intelligence hardware, a trend that has also benefited other chipmakers such as Taiwan Semiconductor ManufacturingCo. "The AI revolution is driving strong, durable demand for GF's technologies that enable tomorrow's data centers," GlobalFoundries Chief Executive Tim Breen said in a statement. The $1 billion capital spending boost is expected to support factory expansions in New York and Vermont, and is in addition to the $12 billion the company said in 2024 it planned to invest over the next 10 plus years. GlobalFoundries did not disclose a specific timeframe for the additional funding it announced on Wednesday. The $3 billion in research and development GlobalFoundries said it will spend will be split into three areas: chip packaging technologies, silicon photonics that can be used to make quantum computing processors, and gallium nitride which is used in electric vehicles and other power-related applications. In April, Intel and TSMC showed off their latest chip manufacturing and packaging capabilities at events, including the capability to stitch together multiple chips into a dinner-plate-sized device.

Spain cancels purchase of Israeli anti-tank missiles: reports
MADRID: Spain, which has strongly criticised Israel's offensive in Gaza, has cancelled a contract to buy 168 firing posts and 1,680 anti-tank missiles from Israeli defence company Rafael, Spanish media reported Wednesday. The deal was worth 287.5 million euros ($327 million), according to top-selling daily Spanish newspaper El País, which cited unnamed government sources. The equipment was to be manufactured in Spain under licence from Rafael. Spanish defence ministry sources told AFP that the government 'has begun a process to revoke licences of Israeli origin' and was working to redirect its procurement programmes 'with the goal of achieving greater technological independence and autonomy'. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's criticisms of the offensive in Gaza infuriated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government last year by recognising a Palestinian state. In late April, Spain cancelled a contract to buy bullets from another Israeli company, IMI Systems, following pressure from the Socialist-led government's far-left coalition partner Sumar -- a move swiftly condemned by Israel. Labour Minister Yolanda Diaz, the founder of Sumar, said at the time that Spain could not engage in 'business with a genocidal government... that is massacring the Palestinian people'. Sanchez's government said it halted weapons transactions with Israel after the start of the war following Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. But according to Centre Delas, a Barcelona-based think tank specialising in security and defence, the government has granted 46 contracts worth more than 1 billion euros to Israeli companies based on data published on a public tenders platform.
