JAKARTA -- Gojek, Indonesia's most valuable startup, will shut down some services and slash 9% of its global workforce, becoming the latest Southeast Asian tech group to make cutbacks in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The move comes after Singapore-based rival Grab announced job cuts of its own last week.
