Macron and PM Wong savour hawker centre food in Singapore
French President Emmanuel Macron and Singapore's Prime Minister
Lawrence Wong jostled with dinner crowds at Lau Pau Sat on Thursday, the first of Macron's two-day state visit to Singapore.
The two leaders arrived at the downtown food centre slightly after 9pm and were joined by their wives, Brigitte Macron and Loo Tze Lui.
Macron and Wong were swamped with wefie requests every few steps, but patiently took some photos and had brief conversations with some patrons.
Many diners stood on tables and chairs to snap photos and videos of the two leaders. Some live-streamed the occasion, while others were seen video-calling loved ones to show them the scenes.
Despite all the hustle and bustle, the French president managed to try some local dishes.
When the leaders headed to the open-air satay street, some diners cheered 'vive la France', or long live France.

Chinese general fires back at US defence chief over Shangri-La Dialogue remarks
A PLA major general leading the Chinese delegation at this year's Shangri-La Dialogue has accused the United States of 'destabilising the Asia-Pacific' – after US defence chief Pete Hegseth called for collective deterrence against what he characterised as Chinese aggression in the region. In a panel session at Asia's premier annual security conference on Saturday afternoon, Hu Gangfeng, vice-president of China's National Defence University, said Hegseth's address earlier in the day involved 'groundless accusations against China'. This came after the US defence secretary claimed that China was 'destabilising' the region as it 'harasses its neighbours' in the South China Sea while rapidly building up its military. Addressing Asia-Pacific defence chiefs in a morning session at the Singapore event, Hegseth also warned of a 'possibly imminent' risk that the People Liberation Army (PLA) would take over Taiwan by force. Hu said that some of Hegseth's claims were fabricated and 'aimed at stirring up trouble, creating division, inciting confrontation, and destabilising the Asia-Pacific'. 'Some countries are promoting exclusive and confrontational small circles and [have] drastically increased their military presence' in the region, Hu said, adding that China was opposed to 'the use of the Asia-Pacific waters as an arena for seeking hegemony'.

France slams ‘heinous acts' after Holocaust memorial, synagogues in Paris hit with paint
France's Holocaust memorial, two synagogues and a restaurant in central Paris were vandalised with green paint overnight, according to police sources on Saturday, prompting condemnation from government and city officials. 'I am deeply disgusted by these heinous acts targeting the Jewish community,' said French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said on X. No arrests have been made. Retailleau last week called for 'visible and dissuasive' security measures at Jewish-linked sites amid concerns over possible antisemitic acts. In a separate message, the interior minister on Friday had again ordered heightened surveillance ahead of the coming Jewish Shavuot holiday.

China's absence felt at Shangri-La Dialogue, Singapore's defence chief says
Singapore's defence minister has said attendees at a premier security summit hosted by his country would have wanted China's defence chief to be present to avoid misunderstandings, as the absence of a high-ranking leader from Beijing continues to reverberate on the second day of the Shangri-La Dialogue (SLD). Advertisement Speaking to the media on Saturday following a closed-door ministerial roundtable, a regular feature at the SLD for minister-level attendees, Singapore Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing said most at the session would have hoped for the Chinese delegation to attend. 'I think it will be fair to say that most if not everyone around the table would have hoped for the presence of the Chinese delegation because the Shangri-La Dialogue has continued to grow over all these years [...] and that's because many people found it useful; a useful platform to exchange perspectives,' Chan said. China did not send Defence Minister Dong Jun to the SLD, a departure from its practice since 2019. Instead, a delegation from the National Defence University is in Singapore to attend the forum, which began on Friday and will last till Sunday.
