Bill Gates seen sampling durian, local favourites at Singapore's Newton Food Centre (VIDEO)
SINGAPORE, May 7 — Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates spent part of yesterday's evening visiting a well-known hawker centre in Singapore, where he explored various food stalls and spoke with stallholders. During his visit to the Newton Food Centre, Gates was seen sampling a selection of local favourites such as chicken rice, and roti prata. He also tried durian, often considered an essential experience for visitors to the country. His presence attracted the attention of other diners, many of whom captured photos and videos, sharing them on social media. The visit concluded a two-day stay in Singapore, during which Gates held discussions with senior government leaders, including Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. ADVERTISEMENT He also participated in the Philanthropy Asia Summit 2025 yesterday. During the summit, Gates announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — the charitable organisation he co-chairs — will open a new regional office in Singapore.

TSA: New Yorkers without REAL ID may face airport security delays
GATES, N.Y. (WROC) – New York's REAL ID law takes effect Wednesday. Travelers who don't have the correct form of identification will still be able to fly, but should be prepared for extra screening, according to the Department of Homeland Security. As News 8 has previously reported, in order to board a flight, the TSA will no longer accept state-issued identifications that are not REAL ID compliant at security checkpoints. This applies to all passengers 18 and older. Other acceptable forms of identification include an enhanced license or a passport. TSA federal security director Bart Johnson made a stop to the Greater Rochester International Airport Tuesday to make a last push of awareness for passengers. Johnson reiterates New Yorkers who don't have the proper identification can expect to face delays and additional screening. 'My message to them is if they don't have it, check to make sure you don't have a passport, or government DOD identification, or another acceptable form. Then, you'll be fine,' said Johnson, 'If they're not prepared, we'll still deal with them individually based on our operational plan. It wouldn't be a good idea to get in an argument with an officer, there's going to be additional law enforcement here should that problem arise.' Those who still need a REAL ID compliant license must visit a New York State DMV branch in-person. If you plan to travel, TSA leaders encourage you to be prepared and know the requirements.
