WEF advisor: M’sia has done fairly well in growing sharing economy


Foodpanda's Instagram account in Singapore has been compromised by a hacker sending out lewd messages to other customers.

Wold Economic Forum (WEF) independent advisor April Rinne said the emergence of the modern sharing economy would create a new revenue source by utilising the nation’s under-utilised assets coupled with today’s technology.
