Ms Tin had been appointed director of public affairs and policy at Grab Singapore in January.
In a media statement by the tech giant on Friday , the company said it had come to a"mutual agreement" with Ms Tin on this revised role, after discussions on her career aspirations and evaluating her experience against relevant open roles.
"She will be expected to continue abiding by the rules of engagement we have put in place to declare and avoid any possible conflicts of interest, and operate in the same manner as other MPs holding private sector roles." “Pei Ling has deep on-ground understanding of digital economy and smart nation policy, and close ties with the local community. She will build partnerships and programmes to harness the positive potential of technology to create impact in Singapore," a Grab spokesperson had said in the company's initial statement on Feb 1 about her appointment.GRAB ADDRESSES POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Addressing the"significant discourse" that surfaced after Ms Tin's initial appointment, Grab said"the discourse has led us to pause and reflect on how we can create an environment where Pei Ling can serve effectively in both her roles as an MP as well as representing Grab".
