Our People
Simonn Ng Yan Cheng
Simonn Ng Yan Cheng, entrepreneur extraordinaire and financial app inventor, is Chairman of the Board of Directors & investor of Measurement & Verification Pte Ltd.
With a keen eye for business opportunities long before they become apparent and are either too late, or too costly for investing, Simonn saw, much earlier on, the huge potential returns in the nascent energy efficient, energy renewal industry in Singapore and the region.
He drew a similarity in companies deriving substantial cost savings from being energy efficient, to that of generating profits from their normal business activities – they both go straight to the bottom line!
He advocates that the sooner companies realize this and adopt energy-saving systems in their operations, the better it is for them, as they would, apart from achieving an additional source for company profits, be contributing to a regenerative healthy environment at work, whilst helping to reduce the national and global carbon footprints.
His businesses range from property investments and developments in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Australia and the United Kingdom, to continually upgrading and improving his financial app that has, since its launch, monetarily benefited over 500,000 players across more than a dozen countries, including South East Asia, Hong Kong, China, Australia, Italy, UK and the US. Currently, its global appeal and popularity continue unabated.
