Yee Wee Tang, Group Managing Director of Operations at Grab<\/b>, issued the following statement in response to recent public discussions regarding Grab\u2019s proposed acquisition of foodpanda Taiwan: <\/span><\/p>

Since announcing our proposed acquisition of foodpanda Taiwan, Grab has focused our efforts on getting to know Taiwan, listening closely to voices across society, and taking concrete action to support the local community. <\/span><\/p>

Foodpanda\u2019s parent company has made a corporate decision to exit Taiwan. We believe the question before regulators is whether Taiwan ends up with one platform or two platforms that can compete effectively with each other.<\/span><\/p>

We are deeply mindful of what this <\/span>decision means for the people of Taiwan – the merchants who built their businesses on digital platforms, the riders who depend on every order for their livelihoods, and the consumers who rely on food delivery as part of daily life.<\/span><\/p>

To ensure continuity for local communities, over the past several months, we have engaged with government authorities, elected representatives, delivery partner unions, merchants and industry associations, as well as many consumers, delivery partners and local businesses. Many stakeholders believe that Grab\u2019s investment into Taiwan will introduce genuine choice <\/span>and contribute to economic growth. We are also grateful for the support of the chain store associations and 18 labor unions who believe our technology will provide better earnings opportunities and protections to both delivery riders and merchants.<\/span><\/p>

What we heard from them was <\/span>very clear: delivery partners want more choices and sustainable earning opportunities, while merchants want more than orders \u2014 they want opportunities to grow, transform digitally and reach new markets. They also want a smooth transition that ensures delivery riders and merchants can continue earning livelihoods without disruption. These conversations have helped shape how we think about the role Grab can play in Taiwan.<\/span><\/p>

Hence we are not waiting for deal approval to show our commitment. While we await the outcome of the review and have not yet formally entered the market, we are already working to deliver tangible results for the local community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
