Former bodyguard is now towkay of his own security firm

SIMON Ng spent most of his life being a security officer, and has now built a company training people in the security field - and doing it quite successfully, too.

The former police officer rose to become a bodyguard for then-Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew in the 2000s and also ran the training programme for new bodyguards.

In 2008, he joined the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) as a senior manager, creating training programmes for the security industry.
