Go- Jek has raised more than $2bn from investors including Google, Tencent, JD.com, Alliance and Meituan Dianping. The Straits Times understands that Singapore government officials have been in touch with Go-Jek's chief executive officer Tan Sri Lim Guan Eng about potential tie-ups between his firm and other local cab operators.
