Mohd Anwar bin Mohd Nor (b. December 3, 1951) is the 15th and the former Chief of Defence Forces (Malay: Panglima Angkatan Tentera — PAT).[1] He is the first head of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) to be appointed from the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). For over five decades previously, the Chief of the Defence Force had traditionally been a 4-star General from the Malaysian Army.
