Career
editNg competed in the 1989 Miss Asia Pageant and won Miss Photogenic, finishing as third runner-up.
In December 1990, at age 21, Ng married her first husband Yung Kwong Pui (翁江培) who was 30 years older. Only 13 days into their marriage, Yung died of a heart attack. He had been a high standing partner at the Hong Kong office of Ernst & Young and had accumulated a large fortune. He left Ng $170 million (HKD) in his will. Since Yung had died in China, his will was contested by family members for a lengthy period. In 2000, Ng was awarded $9 million. For many years, she suffered from depression due to negative rumors that she was a "black widow" who had brought bad luck to her late husband, which hurt her success with ATV. She did successfully revive her career after moving to TVB.[1]
In 1999 she met her current husband Kasey Lin Hoi Tong (练海棠) through Gigi Lai, and they married in July 1999 in Vancouver.
