Uber keeps Asia HQ in Singapore, ditching Hong Kong move

Uber’s Asian headquarters will remain in Singapore until the end of 2022, at the earliest. Its office in the city-state has about 90 employees. — Reuters pic

Uber has been operating in Hong Kong for several years despite not being legal there and facing strong resistance from the local taxi industry.

The San Francisco-based company has not operated ride-hailing or food delivery services in Singapore since 2018, when it sold its South-east Asian businesses to rival Grab.
