Ride-hailing giant Grab's announcement this week that it intends to raise another US$2 billion (S$2.7 billion) from private investors this year is not aimed at fending off competition, said the company's new Singapore head Yee Wee Tang.
Instead, the funding is aimed at allowing the firm to develop more "innovative products", said Mr Yee, 42, who previously headed Grab's operations in Cambodia.
