SINGAPORE -- China's Tiger Brokers and Futu Securities are rushing to snap up staff in Singapore as they push to expand their internet stock trading platforms in Southeast Asia amid a crackdown on the tech sector back home.
The Singapore heads of the two Nasdaq-listed discount brokerages told Nikkei Asia in separate interviews that they plan to ramp up hiring this year in the city-state -- the base for their drive into the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations and its 650 million people.
