Malaysian comedian Nigel Ng, better known as the Uncle Roger character with a penchant for orange polo tees and catchphrases such as haiyaaa and fuiyoh on YouTube, finally shared his wedding celebrations in Portugal on Instagram on Sunday.

“On July 19th, 2025 I married my best friend,” the 34-year-old wrote in a post that tagged his new wife, Miami-based lawyer Sabrina Ahmed.
The pair met in Miami at one of the YouTube star’s shows. A luxury resort real estate developer, where Ahmed was corporate counsel, had engaged Ng to perform at one of its properties.
Knowing little to nothing about the Jamie Oliver-bashing comedian, except “as a guy who jokes about rice”, Ahmed later “realised he was hilarious and, beyond the glare of the orange shirt, actually very cute”, she told Vogue.
Ahmed was not thinking about dating then due to family health issues. But when she decided to get back on a dating app, she matched with Ng. “The first thing I felt was how elegant and beautiful she looked,” said Ng. “I got the sense quickly we would get along.”

Their first in-person meeting after matching on the app was at Boston airport’s Terminal 3. “Our flights, originally a few hours apart, both ended up landing exactly at 3pm together,” Ahmed recalled. “Everything felt destined and easy.”
Ng admitted that he “was full of anticipation that week, and when I saw her, she was even more stunning in person and so effortless to talk to”. “Within a few months, in March 2023, I realised already that I loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. The rest is history,” said Ng, who popped the question last July in Tokyo.
