From Channel News Asia:

Gojek drivers will now be able to provide food delivery services through a partnership with Deliveroo, according to an announcement.

Gojek said that its drivers will be allowed to deliver food in areas around central Singapore, such as Bukit Merah, Toa Payoh and Geylang.

This comes after Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan announced in March that taxi and private-hire car drivers would be allowed to provide food and grocery deliveries.

Gojek also announced it was partnering with education financing startup Advo and tech-driven food and beverage firm Ebb & Flow to provide more than 2,000 meals to vulnerable single-parent households in Singapore.

Gojek has previously spoken of plans to launch a food delivery service in Singapore, although it has not announced a timeline for doing so.
