From CNA:

Motorists can now check fuel prices and promotions for different retailers on a new website launched on Monday (Jan 13).

The fuel price comparison website Fuel Kaki was created by the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and supported by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore.

The website lets motorists compare fuel prices across retailers, check loyalty programmes and promotions, and estimate the price they will pay per litre after discounts. It is available on both desktop and mobile.

Exxon Mobil, which runs the Esso stations, has agreed to provide information on their fuel prices and promotions, said CASE.

From DealStreetAsia:

Singapore’s home-based caregiving startup Homage has raised a “double-digit” round of Series B funding led by EV Growth, the company said in a statement.

Participating in the round are new investors Alternate Ventures and KDV, as well as existing backer HealthXCapital, who joined the company’s Series A funding round in July 2018.

Launched in 2017, Homage delivers personalised care to individuals, families, and organisations to enable wellness and recovery, be it at home, point-to-point (for medical tourism or escort and transportation), or care within health and aged care facilities.

It looks to serve the increasing number of the elderly population, which by 2050 is predicted to exceed the number of children globally, placing an unprecedented demand for such services. Through its platform, Homage interviews each care professional, screening them on aptitude and soft skills.

Singapore-based multi-family office and digital consulting group Golden Equator has announced its expansion into Brunei.

This follows the group’s $24.63m (US$18.3m) strategic investment in April 2019 from serial entrepreneur-investor Taizo Son and investors from the Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Brunei.

The group behind Golden Equator Consulting (GECo) plans to create a stronger connection between Brunei and the region via Singapore to build up its investment and entrepreneurship capabilities.

The expansion will see three of the group’s businesses established — Golden Equator Wealth (GEW), Golden Equator Consulting (GECo), and SPECTRUM – in Brunei.

The group has also appointed Aziemah Abdullah as Country Head, who will lead its in-market expansion activities in Brunei. She was most recently with the Royal Brunei Technical Services (RBTS), leading its business development and expansion initiatives.
