Local actor and former wushu champion Vincent Ng balances leading two sports associations, running his own martial arts school, and caring for his family as he approaches his 51st December birthday, according to a recent interview with AsiaOne. While managing busy schedules with organizations like the Mind Sports Federation of Singapore, Ng states he is “still learning” how to juggle his professional and personal commitments.
Balancing Association Leadership and Family Priorities
Ng serves as the founding president of the Mixed Martial Arts Association of Singapore, a role he assumed in 2023, and was recently revealed as the first president of the newly established Mind Sports Federation of Singapore. According to his interview with AsiaOne, he never planned to hold these leadership positions but accepted them to contribute meaningfully to the next generation. Married to non-celebrity Mei Ling in 2017, Ng shares an eight-year-old son, Zander. He notes that entering his 40s and 50s shifted his priorities away from personal career goals toward appreciating quiet time and being mentally present with his family.
Did you know? Vincent Ng made history as Singapore’s first wushu world champion after winning the daoshu event in 1995, later transitioning to acting on Mediacorp from 1997 to 2007 before founding Wufang Singapore in 2004.
Parenting Style and Supporting Zander’s Interests
Despite his extensive background in martial arts, Ng adopts a relaxed approach to his son’s upbringing, stating he is strict only regarding “morals and values.” According to AsiaOne, Zander is “quite different” from his father, showing a strong aptitude for chess and mind sports rather than strictly pursuing wushu. Ng encourages his son’s exploration, allowing him to practice wushu solely for coordination and agility while fully supporting Zander’s own passions, much like his own parents supported his athletic journey.
