Facing succession crisis after took over the affairs of ancestral trust
Ng Siu Hung regrets that lack of continuity and succession of clan affairs. In the old days, Ng Shing Tat Tso was taken under the wing of several elders. As these men had supreme authority and younger residents followed their advice, no one dared voice any objection. When the Ng Clan Ancestral Hall was opened, young people were not allowed to join the older clansmen inside to eat roasted pork or drink rice liquor. Ng Siu Hung thought that when elders made the decisions, it was easy to get things done as many disputes were avoided. Unfortunately, the elders had lower education levels and did not know how to maintain records of correspondence between the ancestral trust and the Government. The fact that the younger generation also failed to follow matters up resulted in a lack of continuity and succession which made it hard for them to take over from their elders. When Ng Siu Hung became Manager, he had to check up and trace back past matters by himself.
