Singtel's designated growth engine NCS to step up amid 'reset'

During his seven years spent in China, Ng Kuo Pin picked up a passion for oil painting. He would look forward to the change of seasons so that he has something fresh to depict on his blank canvas. The view might be the same, but there would be different elements and a new perspective to appreciate.

Two years ago, Ng moved back to Singapore and took the helm at NCS, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore’s largest telecommunications company Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel).

In an interview with The Edge Singapore, Ng confesses he no longer has that much time to indulge in his hobby. Yet, he sees similarities between oil painting and running the company.
