He is also a member of the [Legislative Council](/source/Legislative_Council_of_Hong_Kong), representing the [Hong Kong Island East](/source/Hong_Kong_Island_East_(2021_constituency)) constituency.

## Biography

He was born in February 1970 of Fujianese origin. He is educated at the [Chinese Academy of Social Sciences](/source/Chinese_Academy_of_Social_Sciences).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] He is a member of the Hong Kong Clerical and Professional Employees General Union and its president. Through the General Union he has become the core member of the [Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions](/source/Hong_Kong_Federation_of_Trade_Unions) (FTU) after he joined in 1997 and became the chairman of the HKFTU. He is also a Hong Kong deputy to the [National People's Congress](/source/National_People's_Congress) and member of the Standing Committee of the [Xiamen](/source/Xiamen) Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[1]

In the [2006 Hong Kong Election Committee Subsector elections](/source/2006_Hong_Kong_Election_Committee_Subsector_elections), he was elected through the Labour Subsector as the member of the HKFTU. The 800-member election committee was responsible for the [2007 Hong Kong Chief Executive election](/source/2007_Hong_Kong_Chief_Executive_election) in which Beijing's favourite [Donald Tsang](/source/Donald_Tsang) won against [Alan Leong](/source/Alan_Leong) from the [pan-democracy camp](/source/Pro-democracy_camp_in_Hong_Kong).

He was appointed by the Hong Kong government to many public positions such as the Employee's Compensation Insurances Levies Management Board from 2013, the Labour Advisory Board from 2011, the [Mandatory Provident Fund](/source/Mandatory_Provident_Fund) Schemes Appeal Board from 2012 to 2014, the Standard Working Hours Committee since 2013.[2] He had also been a part-time member of the government's [Central Policy Unit](/source/Central_Policy_Unit).[1]

Ng was also one of initiators of the [Alliance for Peace and Democracy](/source/Alliance_for_Peace_and_Democracy_(Hong_Kong)), a counter political alliance orchestrated by Beijing against the [Occupy Central with Love and Peace](/source/Occupy_Central_with_Love_and_Peace) launched by the pan-democrats to pressure Beijing to implement genuine democracy. He organised the anti-"Occupy" rally on 17 August 2014.[3]

In April 2018, he succeeded [Lam Shuk-yee](/source/Lam_Shuk-yee) to be the president of the FTU with Vice President Wong Kwok replacing him as the chairman.[4]

Ng criticised the decision of [Court of Final Appeal](/source/Court_of_Final_Appeal_(Hong_Kong)) in September 2018 to free the group of 13 activists, who had each received jail sentences of up to 13 months from a lower court for unlawful assembly outside the [Legislative Council Complex](/source/Legislative_Council_Complex) on 13 June 2014. "How could this be an act of loving and protecting young people? [The judges] are killing them!" Ng said as he accused the judges "sinners of society". Ng's remarks drew criticism from the pro-democrats, as well as [Chief Executive](/source/Chief_Executive_of_Hong_Kong) [Carrie Lam](/source/Carrie_Lam) which said his comments were "unacceptable".[5]

During the [2019–20 Hong Kong protests](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_Hong_Kong_protests), Ng slammed [Li Ka Shing](/source/Li_Ka_Shing) with coarse Cantonese slang, depicted Li as "cockroach" king in a post on social media.[6][7] "Cockroach" is frequently being used by the [police in Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong_Police) as a slur for protestors.[8]

In March 2021, *Apple Daily* reported that Ng had criticized *[RTHK](/source/RTHK)*, stating that it was skewed and unprofessional.[9]

In February 2022, after the [Witman Hung birthday party controversy](/source/Witman_Hung_birthday_party_controversy), Ng defended Hung and said that "His awareness about the epidemic situation was not strong enough, but he has faced public criticisms over it, and I do not see why he should step down from the NPC".[10]

In August 2023, after the High Court ruled that the Department of Justice could not ban the song *[Glory to Hong Kong](/source/Glory_to_Hong_Kong)*, Ng said "The court's ruling has failed to fully consider the facts and legal points provided by the DoJ."[11]

In December 2025, he was re-elected as Legislative Councilor through Hong Kong Island East Constituency with 39,707 votes.[12]
