Violet Oon and family file suits to take control of eponymous restaurants

CULINARY icon Violet Oon and her children Tay Yiming and Tay Su-Lyn are seeking to take control of the restaurants they operate with 50-per-cent shareholder Group MMM, a luxury and lifestyle company owned by Manoj M Murjani.

The Tays have made an application for the winding up of Violet Oon Inc, which is set to be heard in the High Court on Friday (Oct 28).

Violet Oon Inc owns a group of restaurants serving local and Peranakan-inspired cuisine. Oon holds 20 per cent of the company, and her children, 15 per cent each.
