Grab's takeover of Uber's operations in southeast Asia is under threat after the Competition and Consumer Commission Singapore (CCCS) threatened to impose fines or unwind the already closed agreement. Grab has complied with all areas of CCCS’ IMDs including maintaining base fare levels, surge factor and driver commission rates. The CSCS said it had received a complaint from Uber that its services were being used by Grab-Taxi's drivers without permission. The CCCS said Grab was able to hike prices and faced little robust competition in the ride-hailing marketplace, and ordered the company to cut exclusivity agreements, restore its pre-deal rates and remove driver lock-ins. In a statement, Grab said the CCCS had taken a "very narrow approach in defining competition".
