著名艺术家拿督王红标先生用手指督工建富贵金龙
承建全世界最长的富贵金龙，确实不简单此浩大工程极具挑战.然而富贵金龙工程负责人拿督王红标先生却是功力过人。他不用电脑来衡量比例，没有纸上作业的底稿。他全凭丰富经验和专业知识，只运用手指每天在工程现场指挥督工，这份超然的能耐，就只有我们这一位充满艺术细胞的拿督王红标才能做得到。
小时候的拿督王红标就与绘画结下不解之缘。自小就对画画很有兴趣也喜欢看故事书的拿督王红标，尤其是对中国的神奇故事更是喜之若狂，爱不释手。当然，小时候的他，在上学时期最喜欢的课目，也就是绘画课了。每到绘画课的时候，他总是兴致冲冲的。因为他知道，只有在这堂课他才能够尽情的发挥，将自己所喜欢的动物画在图画纸上。
小小年级的他，最有兴趣画的动物就是龙，但由于本身没有亲眼看过龙，只好在神话小故事书中寻找龙的画像来做参考。那时学习画龙，就奠定了基础，至今变成画龙和建龙的高手。
拿督王红标，其实是生长在一个艺术世家里头，父亲是国内著名艺术家王振和先生。王振和先生专门装饰佛庙寺堂的所有艺术工程，是一位全面的艺术家。当然有一位这么强势威望的父亲当后山，拿督王红标更是如鱼得水。但他却不因为如此而骄傲，反而是更加的勤奋地学绘画，并且很有耐心地跟著父亲学手艺，小小年纪的他把父亲当著偶像。希望将来长大之后也能跟父亲一样做一位出色的艺术家。胸怀大志的拿督王红标，跟随著父亲学手艺，艺术细胞特强的他一方面接受父亲的传授，另一方面自己在做研究，日子一天一天过去，他不但把父亲的真功夫全部吸收，而且是出於蓝更胜於蓝，把王冢的佛庙寺堂艺术事业发扬光大。
17岁那一年，拿督王红标就开始自挑重梁，承接佛庙寺堂各大小的工程。那时候的他，也不知道什么叫著大工程，什么是小工程，只要是一接到工作，他就忘餐废食的去完成它，他用心的态度和丰富的专业知识，每回都做出来令人激赏的作品，频获肯定之下，渐渐的有了一点名气。
讲到拿督王红标艺术之旅就有一箩筐这么多，除了17开就自挑重梁承接佛庙寺堂，大小工程之外，目前全马已有超过145间的寺庙都是出自他的杰作，而且手头上还有许多工程等待进行令人口碑的收成。由於他的办事能力特强，曾经只花36天的时间就成功完成富贵山庄两座9头狮的惊人记录，此项记录仍没有人可以打破。
於1996年他再度被慧眼识英雄的富贵山庄的董事经理邝汉光先生聘请，承建千尺富贵金龙的浩大工程。万事皆求完美的他，接下富贵金龙工程之后，初时深感压力，但过后他又笑著说，虽然压力不小，但是这项工程极具挑战性，而且很刺激，这无疑是对他一项重大的考验。
在富贵金龙工程的初步筹备阶段时期，他就一直寻找著龙的灵感，上至龙的象微下至龙的体态祥气，都经他一番精细深人的探讨研究。比如说四爪金龙代表平民，五爪金龙高人一级代表皇帝，在画工方面更是考功夫。不但颜色不可以上错，还要根据金龙的属性和历史依据，再与环境的搭配深加调配。更难能可贵的是，在整个工程中拿督王红标是不用电脑测比例，不画底稿作结构，完全只凭他对龙的那份独到的匠工与超然灵感，用甚巧妙的手指在现场指挥督工至到整项工程完毕为止。
富贵金龙全长1000英尺，为全世界最大及最长的人造祥龙结构，龙身内装饰富丽堂皇，设有超过6千多个的骨灰灵位，同时拥有全部冷气以及七彩镭射光的设备，富贵金龙可以说是龙中的经典钜作。身为承建商及设计师，拿督王红标深感荣幸之馀，亦引以为傲。承建富贵金龙是拿督王红标的一项突破，他希望未来会接到更多如此深具挑战性的浩大工程，来挑战自己和满足自己再攀高峰的成就感。
Dato Ong Ang Pieu, A Well-known Artist, Used His Fingers To Supervise The Building Of The Golden Dragon.
The contract to build the longest golden dragon in the world, being a grand construction, is difficult and full of challenges. However, our contractor, Dato Ong Ang Pieu possesses extraordinary capabilities. He built the dragon Structure without using computerized calculation and structural draft, but using only his fingers to control the whole process of the construction process daily. This extraordinary ability is only possessed by Dato Ong who is a gifted artist.
Since young, Dato Ong was interested in drawing and reading story books, especially the folklore of China. The subject he liked best was drawing, because only in this subject could he show off his talent. He drew his favourite animals on drawing paper. The one he like best was the dragon. Since he had never set eyes on a dragon, he copied it from books of folklore. The efforts he spent to draw the dragons during his childhood had become the foundation that enables him to become an excellent artist and builder of dragon now.
Dato Ong actually grew up in a family of artist. His father Mr. Ong Zhen-He is a famous artist in the country. Mr. Ong Zhen-He specializes in the artistic project of decorating temples, and is an all-round artist. However, Dato Ong was never boastful about having a well-known father. Instead, he strove to learn to draw and get instruction from his father. He admired his father and hoped that one day he would be a famous artist just like his father. Dato Ong who cherishes big dreams, not only learnt the finer points of art and craft from his father, but also did research on his own at the same time. Days passed by; he not only inherited but also surpassed the skill of his father and was able to develop the Ong’s family career in temple art. Dato Ong started receiving temple-building projects since he was 17. At that time, whether it be a big or small project, he would work relentlessly to complete it. With his attitude of full commitment and rich professional knowledge, his creation received public acclaim and affirmation. In the end, he too became famous.
The stories concerning Dato Ong’s journey of art are many and interesting. Since he started building big and small temples at the age of 17, there are now more than 145 temples throughout Malaysia which are the products of his creativity. Besides that, he has received many more projects which would surely fascinate the public. He possesses great strength, as evident by the record which he had set by completing 2 nine-headed loins a Nirvana Memorial Park in just 36 days, a record which has not yet been broken.
In the year 1996, he was once again invited by Mr. David Kong, Managing Director of Nir-Wama Sdn. Bhd. To man age the project of building the Golden Dragon which measures 1000 feet. Being a perfectionist, it is not surprising that he encountered a lot of pressure a the initial stage of building this dragon. However, he smiled and said, “Although I was under great pressure, this project was very challenging and inspiring and it can be said that it was a challenge to my ability”.
At the preparatory stage, he was always looking for inspiration about the dragon, studying carefully and deeply the symbol of the dragon, its form and style. For example, the golden dragon that possesses 4 claws symbolizes the common citizens, while the golden dragon with 5 claws has a higher status that symbolizes the emperor. From the point of art, he must not only get the colour right but must colour the golden dragon based on its special characteristic, history and background. The most outstanding feature in the whole construction is that, without computerized calculation and without structural draft, he used only his fingers and his special talent in the craft of Nirvana Golden Dragon and extraordinary inspiration to control the whole construction.
The Golden Dragon measuring 1000 feet is the longest dragon sculpture in the world. The interior of the dragon is beautifully and sacredly decorated. It contains more than 6000 compartments for ash urns and is equipped with air conditioning system and high-tech advanced laser system. It can be said that the Golden Dragon is the most excellent man-made dragon. As a contractor and designer of Golden Dragon, Dato Ong feels very fortunate and proud of it, and regards it as one brilliant achievement. He hopes that in future he will receive projects, which are grand and challenging to him, so that he will achieve a higher level of success.
