SINGAPORE: Embattled bike-sharing firm oBike must refund customers’ US$4.6mil (RM18.60mil) deposits, authorities have warned, after the company quit operating in Singapore last month leaving some 14,000 bicycles strewn across the city. 

In the latest clash between Singapore authorities and oBike, an official this week said it was “possible” the government may take legal action against the firm if it does not refund money owed to some one million users.
