Work experience

Ng’s portfolio, spanning over three decades from 1987, covers a wide range of disciplines. Earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Monash University, Australia, he began his career as a chemist and later became a Laboratory Manager. He then transitioned into Sales Management with a local chemical company in Petaling Jaya. Ng played a major role in developing the ISO 9002 system at Union Carbide's factory in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan.
 

A man of many interests and a self-initiated multi-tasker, Ng's passion for marketing led him to complete a postgraduate diploma with the Chartered Institute of Marketing through a correspondence course. This strong passion and creativity for marketing saw him headhunted to join the Monash University Malaysia campus as its Senior Marketing Manager.

During his tenure at Monash University Malaysia, Ng created significant hype in both print and electronic media around the Monash Malaysia name, effectively bridging the gap between the well-known Monash Australia and the newly-established Malaysia campus in Bandar Sunway. Later, he joined two other educational institutions as Director of Corporate Communications and was instrumental in generating media hype prior to the public listing of Salcon Engineering.

Before 2003, Ng’s knowledge of the financial sector was almost nil; however, two years later, he completed five modules of the Certified Financial Planning (CFP™) programme and received the Award of Excellence for Tax Planning as the best student.

Early in his career, Ng worked part-time as a photojournalist with numerous news agencies, including The Malay Mail, The New Straits Times, The Star, Bernama, Malaysian Business, FRV Magazine, Green Prospects Asia, ASEAN Entrepreneurs, and Malaysiakini. He has published and worked on over 17 books since 1998.
