The leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Tsai Ing-wen told reporters, "The Democratic Progressive Party was grief-stricken to learn about Ng’s passing. He has devoted his whole life to Taiwan’s democracy and freedom and his spirit will live with us forever and call on us to fight for the well-being of the next generation. May he rest in peace." Historian Lee Yeng-chyh also called Ng's unexpected death, "great loss for the Taiwan independence movement."
