SINGAPORE (Reuter): Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten flew into
Singapore yesterday at the start of a brief holiday in Southeast
Asia.

"It's a holiday," he said as he left a fashionable restaurant
where he and his family were having lunch. He declined to discuss
details of his trip.

Singaporean sources said Patten was due to leave the city-
state later yesterday for an eight-day holiday in Indonesia.
The visit to Singapore was private and he had not met government
officials, they said.

Patten is the 28th and last governor of Hong Kong. The
territory, a British colony for more than 150 years, reverts to
China at midnight on June 30, 1997.
