The wedding was held at Orchard Hotel Singapore with 72 tables and about 700 guests.
According to Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao , Tay Ying and Wu chose the venue as it was where Hong Huifang, 64, and Zheng, 61, had held their wedding 32 years ago.
The star-studded affair on June 15 was attended by many current and former Singaporean artistes.

Tay and Wu met in 2021 at Italian bistro Supply & Demand at Esplanade Mall – where Wu is the head chef – through his cousin, a friend of Tay's.

K-pop star Daesung from BigBang to hold first solo concert in Singapore on Aug 2
South Korean singer Daesung last performed here at the Yuewen Music Festival at Sentosa's Siloso Beach in December 2024. - ST SINGAPORE: South Korean singer Daesung, a member of K-pop boy band BigBang, will be holding his first solo concert in the Lion City at the 6,700-seat Arena @ Expo on Aug 2. The show is part of the 36-year-old's D's Wave 2025 Asia tour, which kicked off in Seoul on April 26. It has made stops in cities such as Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City and will travel to Taipei, Hong Kong and Kobe before arriving in Singapore. The Singapore show was announced on Daesung's Instagram and Facebook accounts on June 15. Ticketing details have not been announced. Daesung last performed here at the Yuewen Music Festival at Sentosa's Siloso Beach in December 2024, just before another performance by fellow BigBang member Taeyang. Dressed in a cream cardigan, Daesung performed a 25-minute set with five songs. He opened with Wings, from BigBang's EP Alive (2012), and followed up with Baby Don't Cry (2011) and Falling Slowly (2024). Next, he gave a preview of a then-unreleased number, Umbrella – which was subsequently released on April 8 – before closing with the crowd-pleaser Look At Me, Gwisun (2008). During that performance, he said: 'I know why the word 'sing' is part of Singapore. It is because you guys can sing so amazingly.' BigBang, which debuted as a quintet in 2006, made a comeback in 2022 as a trio comprising Daesung, Taeyang and leader G-Dragon. G-Dragon – who is on his Ubermensch world tour – is slated to be a headlining music act at the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2025 on Oct 3. Taeyang concluded his The Light Year World Tour in February. He is scheduled to hold a series of fan meets from July, which will take place in cities such as Seoul, Hiroshima and Tokyo. - The Straits Times/ANN

Finas proposes extending viewer count period for local films to four days
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) has proposed extending the period for calculating viewer numbers to determine eligibility for full screenings of local films under the Compulsory Screening Scheme from three days to four. Its chief executive officer Datuk Azmir Saifuddin Mutalib said the proposal was among the improvements in the amendment to the Finas Act 1981 to ensure fairer opportunities for local producers. 'Many are still confused about the scheme. Despite being called a 14-day mandatory screening, it is subject to two main conditions, the film must record at least 15 per cent audience turnout in the first three days and reach 30 per cent of total viewers to remain in the main cinema location. 'So we propose that the 15 per cent calculation be extended to four days, from Thursday to Sunday, as viewer numbers are usually higher over the weekend,' he said when appearing as a guest on Bernama TV's Apa Khabar Malaysia programme today. He said the Compulsory Screening Scheme was the only mechanism of its kind in the world, introduced to protect local films from competing with international titles, unlike countries such as China and South Korea, which implemented quota systems. Meanwhile, Azmir Saifuddin reminded producers to submit their applications at least three months before the screening date to allow the evaluation committee to arrange the schedule in an orderly manner. 'We at Finas will also be more proactive in sharing information on the annual screening schedule so that producers can plan the best dates and locations,' he said. According to him, one of the main challenges in implementing the scheme was the change in viewing habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, as audiences had become more selective and were less inclined to watch films in cinemas. 'Previously, audiences would go to the cinema three or four times a month, but now it may only be once. So the challenge is how producers plan their screening dates and locations,' he said. As additional support, Azmir Saifuddin said Finas also shared data on viewing trends, including the most popular genres and locations based on current statistics. 'For example, Malay-language horror films may be more popular in areas like Wangsa Maju or Hulu Klang, while Tamil films have their own target locations,' he said. Meanwhile, Finas chairman Datuk Hans Isaac, who also appeared as a guest on the programme, emphasised that priority should be given to selecting strategic screening slots to ensure local films have a fair chance of attracting cinema audiences. 'When I was a producer, I also wanted to know the screening time. If it was scheduled at 10 am or during prayer time, who would come to watch a Malay film? he said. He also suggested that producers appoint experienced distribution and marketing companies, rather than handling everything on their own merely to reduce costs. 'Investment in marketing also plays a key role in the success of a film,' he said.
