SINGAPORE: The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) has provisionally found that the merger deal between Grab and Uber has led to a "substantial lessening of competition" in ride-hailing platforms, it announced on Thursday (Jul 5).
"CCCS has concluded its investigation after obtaining evidence from the parties and third parties," it said in a news release.
