His greatest success at a major international was when he was 19 and was chosen to represent Malaysia at the 1966 Asian Games in Bangkok where he won the individual gold medal in the long-distance cycling competition. It was a surprise for the Asian cycling community as virtually no one, not even his teammates, expected Malaysia to win any medals given Japan's long term domination of the sport in Asia. As it turned out, cycling was a highlight for Malaysia at the 1966 Asian Games. In addition to Ng's gold, his brother also won a gold medal, and so did another cyclist, Daud Ibrahim, who won a gold medal in the 1,600m cycling event.
