Malaysian paraplegic farmer realises his dream of an aquaponic farm


Dr Tang has been involved in agriculture and private research for two decades; which inculcate in him the passion for sustainable farming and in businesses which are environmentally sustainable.

In December 2015, a car accident left Dr Billy Tang, an agriculturist and private researcher, with traumatic spinal cord injury.

The accident happened near a university in Kota Damansara, Selangor. In trying to avoid a motorcyclist, who was not wearing a helmet, Tang inadvertently drove up a divider, causing his car to flip over and hit a big tree.
