Apple CEO Tim Cook is currently in Singapore.
On Dec. 11 morning, he was spotted eating chwee kueh with some photographers at Tiong Bahru market.
And while he's in Singapore, he also appears to be busy meeting different folks from all walks of life as well.
Met PM Lee
In a Facebook post, Prime Minister Lee said that he caught up with Cook and had a "lively exchange on how the tech scene has changed" since the previous time they met, which was about four years ago.
Met local students and game developers
Apart from meeting PM Lee, Cook also met some secondary school students in the Swift Accelerator Programme, where students learn how to code.
I am so impressed with the high school students in Singapore’s Swift Accelerator Program. They’ve been busy learning to code with @Tinkercademy teachers, and already have everything from AR to productivity apps live on the @AppStore! Nice work! #EveryoneCanCode pic.twitter.com/41LDv9eh1f

Just got a preview of @sezairi’s new track She Moves — you’re going to love it! Thanks to @jonchuajx for showing me around Zendyll Productions and for giving @AppleMusic artists the space to create the music that inspires, motivates and moves us. 🎶 pic.twitter.com/J8wHxcsYb3

Met Theresa Goh & Mr Brown
Cook also tweeted about his meeting with Paralympian Theresa Goh, where they chatted about the Apple Watch.
When you bring everything you are to everything you do, it’s amazing what’s possible. Paralympian @theresagoh_ is a force inside and outside the pool. Loved seeing how you use Apple Watch to take your training to the next level! 🏊♀️⌚️ pic.twitter.com/M9NtS0mRuw
