Moreover, this is not the first time that Ng's achievements have been lauded

In July 2019, TAR UC announced on its website that a team of six TAR UC students, one of which was Ng, participated in the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (‘ICAEW’) Malaysia Business Challenge 2019.

The competition, which took place on 26 April last year, challenged participants to apply their creativity and innovation through business case studies.

The TAR UC team managed to overtake 20 other teams to successfully bag the Most Innovative Team award.
