Ng was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal, the highest award under the Hong Kong honours and awards system by Chief Executive CH Tung on July 1 1998.[5] He currently works as a columnist for Ming Pao.[6]
On 8 March 2014, Ng, as a columnist for Ming Pao, commented that the recent political chaos in Hong Kong has reached a "critical point" (Chinese: 臨界點).[7] He denounced the Occupy Central with Love and Peace movement launched by members of the pro-democracy camp, warning that further moves against the Chinese Government by the general public will result in a "total disaster" for Hong Kong, causing Hong Kong to be totally ungovernable.
