Huang Yiliang (born Ng Aik Leong; 4 July 1961) [1] is a Singaporean businessman and former actor and director.

Career

Huang started as an actor with Mediacorp. He won the Best Supporting Actor Star Awards three times and Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes during his 20-year career there.[ citation needed ] Huang left the entertainment industry in 2006. [3]

Huang felt that it was time to move on to a different challenge after having acted for the past 20 years and started his own movie producing company Red Group Film and became a movie producer, a film-director and a movie actor.[ citation needed ]

Huang's first production, Autumn In March (2009) (S$1 million budget), was originally scheduled for big screen but was later downgraded to just DVD-release after failing to get the support of the local movie distributors. However, it did receive overwhelming support from aspiring actresses as more than 300 girls came over for the leading actress audition in Singapore. [3]

On 30 August 2012, Huang released his second movie production, My Ghost Partner, which had a gross box office collection of S$24,833. [4] [5]

Personal life

Relationships

Huang married Singaporean actress Lin Meijiao in 1991 and had a daughter Chantalle Ng in 1995. They divorced in 1997 with Lin retaining custody of their daughter. [6]

After Huang's divorce in 1997, he remarried and had a son with his second wife. [2]

On 30 November 2020, Huang appeared in a court trial and was accused of attacking a Bangladeshi worker, Jahidul, with a metal scraper at the Singapore Islamic Hub in December 2018, having been charged on 29 November the previous year. [7] [8] The worker was an employee of HYL Enterprises, a plumbing company which was owned by Huang. [1] During the trial, audio recordings revealed that Huang had frequent angry, verbal outbursts against Jahidul, causing the worker to live in fear while working for Huang. [9] On 11 December 2018, Huang then had another violent outburst against Jahidul for not using enough string to tie a plastic bag over a rubbish pail, which eventually led to his attack on Jahidul with a metal scraper. [10] In court, he claimed that he established an agreement with Jahidul to allow him to hit the worker "to help (him) improve at work", and that the assault was merely play-acting. [11] However, the prosecutor dismissed the explanation as "ridiculous" and issued Huang a warning against contempt of court. [12] On 22 January 2021, Huang was convicted of "voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon" to Jahidul and is awaiting sentencing. [10] On 26 February 2021, the court found him guilty and he was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment. [13] Huang filed an appeal to lower the sentence, but it was dismissed on 4 February 2022 and he began serving his sentence immediately. [14]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Chin Swee Road child death</span> 2014 case of a girl who was abused and killed by her parents

Known as the Chin Swee Road child death case, the charred skeletal remains of a 30-month-old girl, whose given name was Umaisyah, were first discovered hidden and sealed inside one of the metal cooking pots from a flat in Chin Swee Road on 10 September 2019. After they uncovered the identity of Umaisyah's remains, the police found that her parents, who used to reside in the flat, were likely responsible for killing the girl five years before in March 2014. The cause of Umaisyah's death was due to her father slapping her on the face twice or thrice with great force, which resulted in a traumatic brain injury that led to a brain seizure, causing Umaisyah to die and her parents, who did not seek medical help for her, burnt the body to avoid detection of their daughter's murder and abuse and the father's drug use.
