Biography

I’m Howard Ong, your Liberal candidate for Tangney. Growing up in Singapore, I was raised by hardworking parents who taught me the values of personal responsibility and community service. After completing my national service as an army lieutenant, I moved to Western Australia to study at Curtin University. Here, I met my wife, Hilda, and we chose to make this wonderful community our home to raise our family.

Over the past two decades, we’ve built a successful IT business that has contributed to our local economy and created job opportunities for others. At the same time, Hilda and I have been actively involved in local schools, sports clubs, and local not-for-profit organisations, reinforcing our commitment to this vibrant and diverse community.

I’m seeking your support because I want to make sure others have the same opportunities previous generations have enjoyed, and can share in the benefits of living in our local area.

My focus is on making home ownership more accessible for young Australians, dealing with cost of living pressures, supporting local businesses and ensuring that Tangney remains a vibrant and safe community where families can thrive.

Tangney needs an effective and strong local representative prepared to fight for us, serve us, and listen to our needs to bring about the changes we deserve. My experience in business and long-standing involvement with community service organisations have given me the skills needed to deliver real results for this area. 

I’m committed to being a dedicated and honest advocate for our community, motivated by a genuine passion for improving the lives of local people.

Together, let’s work to make Tangney even safer and stronger.
