Richard Ng told the Hong Kong media in 2019 that he halted all work as he was suffering from chronic kidney disease and that his kidneys were functioning at only 10 per cent.
Ng also played the chauvinistic eldest brother in the 13-part English-language comedy series Brothers 4 , which starred local actors Gurmit Singh, Tay Ping Hui and Sharon Au, as well as Hong Kong veteran Mimi Choo and Malaysian actor-host Soo Kui Jien.PHOTO: MEDIACORP “He had a strong work ethic and I remember being very in awe of his awareness of the cameras in the sitcom setting and I learnt much about acting for screen. I would try to emulate his sense of timing and precision. I will always be grateful for the opportunity I had to work with Richard and celebrate his life’s work now as he rests in peace.”
He acted in a few BBC series after graduating, before returning to Hong Kong in the 1970s. He then joined Hong Kong broadcaster TVB and was involved in the television programme The Hui Brothers Show, hosted by famed celebrity brothers Michael Hui and Sam Hui.
