On stage, he has collaborated with a number of local theater organizations, such as Wild Rice, The Necessary Stage, and the Singapore Repertory Theatre.

In addition, he had a role in the movie Wet Season, which was directed by Anthony Chen.

Vernetta Lopez, a radio DJ who collaborated with Nga on the production of the children’s television programme Zero Hero, told the Straits Times, “It is very startling. Tim possessed a peaceful, compassionate, and generous nature throughout his whole life. Even though we were never really close, he was always the kindest, most kind, and most pleasant of men. That is how I shall remember him for the rest of my life.”

Those people who had the opportunity to interact with him in the course of his other employment as an executive coach and an emcee also took the time to post their sympathies and leave remarks on his profile. One user said in a post on the internet, “I had met Tim on a coaching course and really truly bonded with him… he was a beam of light.” Tim had passed away recently.
