Mohd Anwar Mohd Nor


Yang Berbahagia Admiral (Rtd) Tan Sri Dato' Sri Mohd Anwar bin Haji Mohd Nor is the 15th and the former Chief of Defence Forces. He is the first head of the Malaysian Armed Forces to be appointed from the Royal Malaysian Navy. For over five decades previously, the Chief of the Defence Force had traditionally been a 4-star General from the Malaysian Army. Anwar broke the tradition by being appointed the first Navy Admiral to be promoted to Chief of Defence Force.
