Wu Gang (Hong Kong)

Ng Kong (born 1955), birth name Ng Sun Yee, Dharma name Ng Fa Kong, commonly known as Master Ng Kong, is a former Hong Kong male actor.

Biography

Ng began his career in the mid-1970s with Sun Luen Film Company (a predecessor of Sil-Metropole Organisation), appearing in several films. In the early 1980s, he joined Rediffusion Television (later known as Asia Television) and acted in many costume dramas. In the 1990s, he transferred to TVB.

Ng was known for performing high-risk stunts on screen, such as breaking stones on his chest, pouring boiling oil on himself, walking on wires, and eating charcoal. He also claimed knowledge in sexology and fortune-telling. Because of this, he was often invited to perform in TVB’s anniversary and charity galas like "TVB Anniversary Gala" and "Tung Wah Charity Show". However, media later exposed that he used fake bricks and fake oil. After the cancellation of his "Golden Bell Shield" performance in 2001, he faded from the public eye and retired.

In the late 2000s, after withdrawing from the entertainment industry, he entered the catering business and opened "Royal Banquet Wedding Specialist". His chain has reportedly grown to over 1,500 outlets, making him a billionaire.

On November 16, 2014, Ng appeared in the musical drama segment "Why Burn Offerings When We Meet" of the remake of "Why Must We Have Met Before?" by Kathy Wong and Steven Cheung, playing the male lead alongside actress Ng Lai Chu.

Controversies

Involved in Multiple Fraud Cases

Ng Kong was allegedly involved in several fraud cases, including falsely promoting juice products in Andy Lau’s name in 2000, selling “health energy sticks” that claimed to detox and help with weight loss to elderly residents in 2001, and in 2020, failing to refund over HKD 30,000 for Eason Chan concert tickets.

Lavish Lifestyle Despite Bankruptcy

In 2012, Ng Kong was declared bankrupt by the court, yet he continued to live a luxurious lifestyle. He and his family resided in a million-dollar penthouse at The Arch above Kowloon Station. Both his children completed their university studies in the UK. Although a bankrupt individual, he still traveled by taxi with his family.
