2017 Southeast Asian Games

In diving at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, Ng came in first place in the mixed 3 metre springboard synchro, but was stripped of the gold medal after testing positive for sibutramine. The gold medal was subsequently awarded to fellow Malaysian divers Muhammad Syafiq Puteh and Jasmine Lai Pui Yee. Though not generally considered a performance-enhancing drug, sibutramine is listed in the World Anti-Doping Code as a banned substance. In March 2018, FINA announced that Ng would be suspended from the sport for eight months. As a result, she was unable to compete in diving at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
