Lina Ng Su Fang (born 6 May 1974) is a Singaporean actress and host.[1] She was a full-time Mediacorp and SPH MediaWorks artiste from 1993 to 2004 but currently continues to film on an ad-hoc basis.

Other contestants included Ann Kok and Ivy Lee, whom the former later revealed in 2009 that Ng was "openly competitive" during the competition.[4] Ng later joined SPH MediaWorks, and left full-time acting following SPH Mediaworks' merger with MediaCorp.[5] Since then, she has appeared in a number of productions including the 2012 series Joys of Life.

Ng was nominated for Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes from 1995 to 1998.

In 2017, Ng appeared in Have A Little Faith where she played an abusive mother. Shortly after, she played another supporting role in My Teacher Is a Thug. She went on to play the leading role in Channel 5 series Lion Mums 2.

In 2018, she was cast in a Toggle original drama series Close Your Eyes.

Personal life

Ng married Mike Lam, a Physical Education teacher, on 9 September 2004 and they have three sons.[5] She taught for three years in a pre-school before running a Mandarin enrichment company with former actress Evelyn Tan.[5]
