Indonesia’s Go-Jek plans to roll out a preliminary version of its ride-hailing app in Singapore on Nov 29, bringing fresh competition to the hometown of arch-rival Grab, according to people familiar with the plan. 

Go-Jek’s beta app will be available to a limited number of consumers before expanding it to a wider population as testing progresses, said the people, who asked not to be named because the information is not public.
