SINGAPORE - A legal battle has erupted for the control of home-grown hospitality group Tipsy Collective, a year after the firm’s co-founder and former group chief executive Derek Ong died.

The group’s other co-founder and executive chairman David Gan Jia Liang, 32, has applied for an interim court injunction against several Indonesian stakeholders, who he claims in court documents are attempting to seize control of the board.
