Early Life and Education

Ng Ling Ling received her early education at Raffles Girls' School and Raffles Junior College. In 1994, she earned a Bachelor of Accountancy degree from the Nanyang Technological University. Later, in 2003, she continued her studies and completed a Master of Public Administration from the Australian National University.

Career

Before entering politics, Ng Ling Ling had six years of experience in the banking sector. In 2001, she switched to social service activities by joining the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). There, she contributed to developing the Community Chest (Comchest). In 2013, she became the managing director of Community Chest until June 2018. From April 2018 to April 2020, Ng served as Chief of Future Primary Care and Director of Community Engagement at the Ministry of Health's Office for Healthcare Transformation. She continued her contributions by serving as an independent senior consultant. In November 2022, Ng took on the role of Managing Director of Sustainability & Community at Tower Capital Asia.

Political career

Ng Ling Ling debuted in politics when the PAP introduced her as a candidate representing Ang Mo Kio GRC. She was one of the five-member team members contesting against the Reform Party. Her team grabbed 71.91 per cent of the 2020 general election vote. She was then an MP before being appointed Deputy Chair of the Government Parliamentary Committee (GPC) for Health.

Controversies

• A Facebook post dated June 29 2020 by Richard Giam pointed out that Ng Ling Ling had made a false claim when she was introduced to the media, and that she was not the person who had set up SSTI, as she had said in her speech.
• Richard Giam wrote in his Facebook post: “Choice of words (are) important. I cannot publicly claim that I set up a team when I was only one of the contributing members. It would be very misleading and deceptive.”
• Ng Ling Ling was Assistant Director at the SSTI.
• After the news broke, Ng Ling Ling clarified that “None of us are perfect and I’ll be the first to confess that I am not a perfect person,” but she did not issue any apology.
• Gerard Ee, former president of the NCSS, backed up Richard Giam with the comment on his post, "(SSTI) was a start-up and with the efforts of Ling Ling and her team which supported Bee Heong, it grew rapidly," and he tactfully mentioned that this was a "Freudian slip on the part of Ling Ling."
