Daily Briefing: LTA delays licences for PMD-sharing services; HSBC joins race for in-demand data talent

And telehealth provider WhiteCoat partners with caregiving services platform Homage.

From Channel News Asia:

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has for the second time pushed back a decision on awarding licences to companies seeking to operate sharing services for personal mobility devices (PMDs).

LTA said in response to media queries that it will announce the results of the applications "at a later date".

Earlier this year, 14 companies had submitted applications to operate PMD-sharing services here. The application results were supposed to have been announced in the second quarter of this year, but had been delayed to the third quarter.

On Monday, LTA said it will be consulting device-sharing and rental companies on additional regulations to improve public safety.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
