Dr. Ong is a many of many talents and achievements. He is first and foremost a medical educationist, having played a pioneering role in the establishment of the USM Medical School in Penang, Malaysia (1979-1991). It was there that the integrated problem-based medical curriculum was first used in the Asia-Pacific region. From USM he went on to help establish the International Medical University (IMU) from 1992 until he retired as Professor on Medical Microbiology in 2019. IMU introduced a novel approach in medical education where its students transfer to twenty medical schools in UK, Canada. USA, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand for clinical training after two and a half years in Malaysia. Today IMU is 30 years old.
In the field of innovative science and technology, Dr. Ong, in collaboration with Professor Asma Ismail invented and commercialized the rapid typhoid test (Typhidot) in 1995. The test was widely used in Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, India and Indonesia. Typhidot was manufactured and marketed by Malaysian Bio-Diagnostic Research Sdn Bhd (MBDr) for which Dr. Ong was Founder and Chairman. MBDr was responsible for the commercialization of both the Brugia and Bancrofti rapid test for diagnosis of filariasis in 1997. MBDr was the first Malaysian biotechnology company to be award the Bio-Nexus status in 2015.
In cosmeceutical science, Dr. Ong founded Bio-Ti International Sdn. Bhd. in 2012. He formulated and commercialized a number of skincare products for acne, pigmentation, eczema and anti-aging. Bio-Ti products were sold in Malaysia through a MLM company until 2015 when it ceased operation. Upon his retirement from IMU, Dr. Ong decided to reactivate his acne range of products because, having spent more than 10 years working on the acne problem, he is convinced that his acne range of products has the efficacy and quality to solve the acne problem thus providing a god-send hope to help young people solve their acne problem and inject self-confidence into their personal life. Today, it is marketed under the SQ-infinit brand.
