Chairman of the PolyU Council and Prof. Poon Chung Kwong, President
of PolyU. The Naming Ceremony means a lot to the University. Despite
Mr. Ngs leave from the campus, Mr. Ng keeps a very close tie with us
and shows his great enthusiasm by his active participation in our activities
and generous contributions to the University. In recognition of his care and
passion for the University, the ST Wing was officially named Ng Wing
Hong Buildingin the Ceremony.
In the unstable war years, Mr. Ng had no choice but to start his job in the
construction industry instead of studying when he was only 15 years old.
His work taught him the importance of professional education, hence he
furthered his study in the Department of Building of the then Government
Trade School in 1937. Mr. Ng then continued his construction work in his
own company. However, the community encountered the difficult periods
