HK’s Octopus is ready, but seems like they’re on an exclusive partnership with Samsung Pay at the moment so we might have to wait it out.
As for S’pore, there might be a higher chance of NETS FlashPay having the infrastructure to support this card emulation since it might have better control over its interfaces and backend cloud server and might be able to move faster as a private entity.
They didn't move a single bit when Apple and Android Pay was introduced. They're still stuck in their own ecosystem where they are waiting for others to adopt to their standards.
Till date, their cards are still incompatible with Apple and Android Pay. It's been more than 3 years.
Edit: Actually they did move, they moved backwards towards QR codes because the others are doing it. And then have their service crash on the first day because they couldn't cope with demand
