Huang Yiliang

Huang Yiliang (born Ng Aik Leong; 4 July 1961) is a Singaporean former actor and film director and currently a businessman and plumber. He was a full-time Mediacorp artiste from 1985 to 2007, after which he decided not to renew his contract. Huang directed two movies released in 2009 and 2012, and since then has been running businesses in plumbing and seafood.

Career Prior to acting, Huang was a plumber in his father's company.

In 1985, Huang started as an actor with Mediacorp. He won the Best Supporting Actor Star Awards three times and was nominated thrice for the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes award during his 20-year career there. While acting, he also worked as an insurance agent and started a fish farm with friends. Huang left the TV industry in 2007.

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. He became a film producer, a film director and a film actor.

Huang's first film, Autumn in March, was released on 8 September 2009 with a budget of S$1 million. It was originally scheduled for the big screen but was later downgraded to a DVD release after failing to get the support of the local movie distributors. However, it did receive overwhelming support from aspiring actresses, with more than 300 of them auditioning for the lead actress.

As of April 2026, Huang runs a plumbing company, a wet market stall selling fish and crab, and a seafood hawker food stall at the 79A Circuit Road Hawker Centre. He returned to acting in August.

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.

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

Legal issues 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. The worker was an employee of HYL Enterprises, a plumbing company which was owned by Huang. 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. 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. However, the prosecutor dismissed the explanation as "ridiculous" and issued Huang a warning against contempt of court. On 22 January 2021, Huang was convicted of "voluntarily causing hurt by a dangerous weapon" to Jahidul. Huang filed an appeal to lower the sentence, but it was dismissed on 4 February 2022 and he began serving his sentence immediately.

In November 2024, Huang was fined and banned from driving for five years for striking a cyclist while driving a van.

On 10 May 2026, he was taken to the hospital after being assaulted at his hawker stall.
