A female gambler who embezzled company funds served five years in prison. After her release, her gambling addiction worsened, even losing all of her mother's savings. It wasn't until a reprimand from her sister finally brought her back to reality, and with the help of a gambling rehabilitation center, she reformed her ways.
Aying (pseudonym), 55, recalled that she first encountered baccarat and blackjack on a gambling ship in 1997 and became addicted. After the casino opened, she became even more engrossed, losing all her savings and then embezzling company funds.
"At the time, I was blinded by my addiction and felt no fear whatsoever. Looking back now, I still feel very guilty, after all, I betrayed the company's trust of many years and stole a huge sum of money—millions of yuan."
After her crimes were exposed, Ah Ying filed for bankruptcy and was sentenced to prison, feeling lost and uncertain about the future. Five years later, she was released but, unable to find work, attempted to make quick money through online gambling. She not only stole her mother's savings but also lost them all and got involved with loan sharks.
"When my sister found out, she berated me, saying I hadn't changed even after going to jail, and threatened me: 'I'll give you two choices: one, pay with your life; two, seek help.'"
Having regained her confidence, Ah Ying has successfully quit gambling for three years and has found a new job. Besides continuing to volunteer at the gambling rehabilitation center, she also visits prisons to encourage inmates with her experience.
Ah Ying frankly admits that the person she is most grateful to is her husband, who has been like an angel sent by God to her for the past 29 years, never abandoning her. She also hates herself for her past weakness, which repeatedly hurt him.
Now, Ah Ying has repaid all of her 90-year-old mother's savings, proving through her actions that she will not repeat her mistakes, and has also repaired her relationship with her sister.
The Meng En Social Services gambling rehabilitation center holds bilingual (Chinese and English) gatherings every Tuesday evening, with about 70 gamblers, former gamblers, and their families attending each time to exchange ideas.

**Ng Cheow Leng (also known as Albert Ng)** is a prominent Singaporean-based businessman with a substantial presence in the regional maritime, tourism, and casino gaming sectors.
Rather than owning the vessel entirely as an individual, his ownership and management of the *Aegean Paradise* cruise ship are structured through his major corporate entities.
## Corporate Profile & Net Worth
* **Primary Corporate Entity:**
He is a principal controlling force behind **New Century Group Hong Kong Ltd**
(listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, HKSE: 00234).
* **Asset Holdings:** Corporate filings track his equity control in New Century Group at over 4.2 billion shares. As of recent valuations, his estimated net worth via these corporate insider holdings sits at over **$131 million USD**.
* **Local Infrastructure:** In Singapore, he operates via **Ng Cheow Leng & Co Pte Ltd** and **New Century Tours Corporation Pte Ltd**, which are headquartered around the HarbourFront and New Industrial Road areas.
## Connection to the *Aegean Paradise*
The *Aegean Paradise* is well-known in the region as a dedicated casino cruise ship. Ng Cheow Leng’s corporate ecosystem acquired and deployed the vessel through the following structure:
* **The Acquisition:** In July 2015, New Century Maritime (a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of New Century Group) purchased the 23,287-gross-ton vessel for **$22.89 million USD** from Hainan Cruise Enterprises.
* **Singapore Operations:** The ship was brought to Singapore’s ST Marine Shipyard for a comprehensive refit and refurbishment. It officially commenced operations in early 2016 under the local management of **Universal Shipmanagement Pte Ltd** and ticketing/operations via **New Century Tours Corporation**.
* **The Fleet Strategy:** Under his group's direction, the *Aegean Paradise* joined two other well-known regional casino ships—*Leisure World* and *Amusement World*—positioning his group as a major player in the offshore gaming and cruise market operating off Batam Island, Indonesia.
## Background & Offshore Holdings
Beyond his public exchange listings in Hong Kong and travel agencies in Singapore, international financial databases (such as the ICIJ Offshore Leaks) associate Ng Cheow Leng as the ultimate beneficial owner of offshore entities like *Castletop Investments Limited*, registered in the British Virgin Islands.
His business operations rely heavily on tight family-and-partner corporate structures, frequently listing co-directors and beneficial owners like Lilian Ng and Linda Ng Siew Lang within his primary firm portfolios.
