Quach was born inBattambang Province,Cambodia on 25 March 1969.^[4] During and afterKhmer Rouge regime, Quach survived theDangrek genocide inDângrêk Mountains areas. After initially being pushed back by the Thai Royal Army, his family managed to find refuge in Thailand in their second attempt to escape Cambodia.^[5] Quach and his family were resettled in the United States in 1984 fromKhao-I-Dang Refugee Camp after the war after their first attempt to journey toNong Chan Refugee Camp in 1979 had failed.^[6]

Quach was raised and educated inCalifornia.^[7] He attendedUniversity of California, Berkeley in 1991 forpre-med^[8] and received hisDoctor of Medicine in General Medicine fromSpartan Health Sciences University in 1998.^[9] Quach also completed his medical clerkship at theUniversity of Illinois Hospital in Chicago. He received his master's degree in Public Health Practice from theUniversity of Massachusetts Amherst in 2007.^[10] Quach was a professor at the Cleveland Chiropractic College in California until 2002.^[11]

In 2002, Quach returned to Cambodia where he worked as public health advisor of Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) for Partners for Development^[12] and taught at thePannasastra University of Cambodia and theUniversity of Cambodia.^[13]

In 2005, Quach foundedMengly J. Quach Education. ItsAii Language Center andAmerican Intercon School to provide education, health care, food, media and financial services.^[14] By 2023, his educational programs had grown from a single classroom with just four students into one of Cambodia's biggest educational networks, with over twenty nine school buildings, over 20,000 students.^[15]

Quach was the owner and on the advisory board of ThmeyThmey.com, an online news publisher. It was launched in 2012 as part of Mengly J. Quash Holdings. In May 2017, Quach resigned from the advisory board ofThmey Thmey. In his resignation letter, he said he sold his shares and has no more connection withThmey Thmey.^[16][17]

After he criticized the integrity of Cambodian doctors and their treatments, his application to open a medical practice and university was declined in 2017.^[18]

Quach founded MJQ Foundation in 2005.^[19] He is also known for a range ofphilanthropic endeavours, from sponsoring spelling contests^[20] to sponsoring education or providing relief during the economic crisis caused by theCOVID-19 outbreak.^[21][22] During a trip to Europe, he made a donation in favour of migrants inVentimiglia at the border between Italy and France, remembering that he himself was helped when he had to flee his country.^[23][24]

As anoknha, he has insisted on the importance of virtuous leadership in Khmer society, through many publications invirtue ethics and business.^[25] In partnership with the Office ofUnited Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Cambodia, he defends the idea that businesses should care more abouthuman rights in Cambodia.^[26]

For that reason, Quach has voiced criticism againstcrony capitalism and abuse of power by certainokhna in Cambodia "I think this re-drafting should be considered because some Oknha have used their titles in the past to protect themselves from the consequences of committing immoral acts, which create discontent among the public. We know that some oknhas have committed violence, or had crooked business dealings. Some have even been involved in deforestation. The actions of those who hold this title affects the honour of the King who bestows it."^[27]

Quach was an elected board member ofTransparency International Cambodia during 2010 - 2013.^[28] He was also known by a controversy for criticizing the Cambodia's public health in 2016, saying that nine in ten doctors in the country were sub-par and treated their patients badly. He also commented that Cambodia's system for educating doctors remains weak and the training for doctors in Cambodia is very short. His comments prompted a government-affiliated doctors’ association to demand an apology and retraction.^[29]

Quach lives in Phnom Penh with his wife and their two daughters.^[30]

In 2009, Quach was made Knight Grand Officer in theRoyal Order of Monisaraphon and given the Khmer Royal title ofOknha by His Majesty KingNorodom Sihamoni.^[31] In 2021, he was given the Khmer Royal title ofNeak Oknha by His Majesty KingNorodom Sihamoni for his community, charity and philanthropic works.^[32]
