Ong Kian Ming

In April 2019, he criticized a senior UBS official who made misleading comments about Malaysia's economy. He argued that he would normally accept any criticisms thrown to the government, provided that they are factually correct . He pointed out how the UBS official, Kelvin Tay, from UBS Wealth Management misinterpreted certain economic figures, particularly on the difference between current account deficit and fiscal deficit, as well as Tay's statement on Malaysia's over-reliance on the oil & gas industry. UBS later that month conceded and acknowledged that Tay did make some erroneous statements and painted a wrong picture on the state of the Malaysian economy.

In addition to this, Ong has also been a very strong advocate on the adoption of Industry 4.0-related processes into Malaysian industries. He has been aggressively promoting the use and integration of technologies related to Industry 4.0 (IR 4.0). Edwin Yapp, an author from Digital News Asia featured Ong's advocacy on Industry 4.0 as one of his five favorite things for 2019.

He is known for his passion for running, and features regularly in local running events. He believes that academic credentials is not necessarily needed to ensure one's success rather, what is more important is a person's integrity.
