## Career
### Acting

Ng joined MediaCorp after reaching the finals of Star Search Singapore in 1997. His first foray into English-language television was in the 2002 Channel 5 series Heartlanders in which he played one of the lead characters. As he was one of the few artistes with any formal training in martial arts, he was frequently cast in period and wuxia television series or in characters requiring fight scenes. He left the entertainment industry in November 2007 to concentrate on running Wufang.

The next year at the 1995 World Wushu Championships, Ng won a gold medal in daoshu and a bronze medal in gunshu. Two years later at the 1997 SEA Games, he won gold medals in changquan and daoshu. Short after, he won a silver medal in changquan at the 1997 World Wushu Championships. His last competition was at the 1998 Asian Games where he competed in the men's changquan all-around event and finished in ninth place.
In 2004, Ng founded Wufang Singapore, a martial arts school. He choreographed and performed the 2006 National Day Parade martial arts display. He published and released his first exercise and fitness book, TEN. In 2011, Ng was nominated for the Spirit of Enterprise Award in recognition for his work in wushu training.
