Half thinking it was a prank by his friends, paraplegic farmer Dr Billy Tang took a moment before he realised that he really had been included in Britishpedia’s Successful People In Malaysia (3rd Edition) 2021.

The founder of social enterprise PWD Smart FarmAbility felt humbled to be featured alongside prominent figures the likes of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
