Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: WEBUY GLOBAL LTD (the “Company”)

We have acted as special Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with an amendment to a registration statement on form F-1 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof (the “Amendment to Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of certain ordinary shares of par value US$0.000000385 each of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) (including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option). The Amendment to Registration Statement contains a prospectus to be used for the public offering by the Company of up to 3,018,750 Ordinary Shares, including any Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option (collectively, the “IPO Shares”), and the offer and sale by Zegen Capital Pte. Ltd. of up to 1,375,000 Ordinary Shares.

1. | DOCUMENTS REVIEWED

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon copies of the following documents:

1.1 | a copy of the Amendment to Registration Statement; and
1.2 | a draft of the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) contained in the Amendment to Registration Statement which is in substantially final form.

We have also reviewed copies of:

1.3 | the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company adopted at the time of incorporation of the Company;

1.4 | the written resolutions of the sole director of the Company dated 2 May 2023, the unanimous written resolutions of the members of the Company dated 2 May 2023, the unanimous written resolutions of the directors of the Company dated 2 May 2023 and 15 May 2023, respectively (collectively, the “Resolutions”);
1.5 | the amended and restated memorandum of association (the “Memorandum of Association”) and amended and restated articles of association of the Company adopted on 2 May 2023 (the “Listing M&As”);
1.6 | a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar of Companies in relation to the Company on 15 May 2023 (the “Certificate Date”);
1.7 | the register of members of the Company certified by the secretary of the Company on 15 May 2023; and
1.8 | such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.
2 | ASSUMPTIONS

We have assumed:

2.1 | the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken;

2.3 | the accuracy and completeness of all factual representations made in the Amendment to Registration Statement, the Prospectus and other documents reviewed by us;
2.4 | that the Resolutions were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings or by unanimous written resolutions, will remain in full force and effect and will not be rescinded or amended;

2.6 | that the Listing M&As will not be amended in any manner that would affect the opinions expressed herein;
2.7 | that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the Cayman Islands, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein;
2.8 | that upon the issue of any Ordinary Shares to be sold by the Company, the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par value thereof;

2.10 | the validity and binding effect under the laws of the United States of America of the Amendment to Registration Statement and the Prospectus and that the Amendment to Registration Statement will be duly filed with or declared effective by the Commission; and
2.11 | that the Prospectus, when published, will be in substantially the same form as that examined by us for purposes of this opinion.
3 | QUALIFICATIONS

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in the Cayman Islands.

4 | OPINION

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

4.1 | The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (the “Act”), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the company is in default under the Act.
4.2 | When issued and paid for as contemplated by the Resolutions and the Amendment to Registration Statement and registered in the register of members of the Company, the IPO Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).
4.3 | Based solely on our review of the Memorandum of Association of the Company, the authorised share capital of the Company is US$100,100 divided into 260,000,000,000 shares of a nominal or par value of US$0.000000385 each.
4.4 | Based solely on our review of the register of members of the Company certified by the secretary of the Company on 15 May 2023, as at 15 May 2023 the persons named in Annex A hereof were the registered holders of the issued Ordinary Shares and such Ordinary Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares).
4.5 | The statements under the caption “Material Income Tax Consideration - Cayman Islands Taxation” in the Prospectus forming part of the Amendment to Registration Statement, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects and that such statements constitute our opinion.
