“Members of Parliament in Singapore are allowed to hold jobs in the private sector, and many hold such roles,” Grab said. “The two roles are distinct, and we have established clear rules of engagement to ensure that any conflicts of interest will be avoided.”
Grab Holdings Ltd. hired Singapore politician Tin Pei Ling to run its government relations department, as the ride-hailing and delivery company faces regulatory changes in its biggest market.
Tin’s title is director, public affairs and policy for Grab Singapore, the company said in an email on Wednesday. Tin, 39, has been a member of the city-state’s parliament since 2011 and she is the chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee for Communications and Information, according to the website of the ruling People’s Action Party.
