In 2015, Ang ran 14.44s to set the national record for the 110m hurdles, which he bettered the same year during the 2015 SEA Games (14.38s).[6] In 2017, he clocked 14.19s at the Thailand Open—after putting his medical studies at NUS on hold—but the record was not ratified.[3] In 2019, he broke the national mark thrice: twice during the Singapore Open (14.27s and 14.26s) and once during the Asian Athletics Championships in Doha (14.25s).[7]

On 15 January 2022, Ang again rewrote the record for the 110m hurdles with a time of 14.16s.[8] Eight days later, he became the first ever Singaporean to clock a sub-14 in the event, setting a new national mark of 13.97s at the Singapore National Championships and qualifying for the 2021 SEA Games in the process.[5] There, he ran 13.94s to win a silver, Singapore's first medal at the event since 1989.[9] On 1 April 2023, he rewrote his record after winning the Hong Kong Athletics Series 3 competition with a timing of 13.90s.[10] Later in the same month, he ran 13.89s at the Singapore Open.[11] On 10 May 2023, Ang clocked 13.83s to win the joint gold at the 2023 SEA Games in Phnom Penh; this was Singapore's first gold in the event since 1967.[12]

Ang also holds the national record for indoor 60m hurdles (8.16s);[13] his personal best for the same event outdoors is 7.22s.[1]
