Yang Berbahagia Admiral (Rtd) Tan Sri Dato' Sri Mohd Anwar bin Haji Mohd Nor (born 3 December 1951) is the 15th and the former Chief of Defence Forces (Malay: Panglima Angkatan Tentera — PAT). 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. Anwar broke the tradition by being appointed the first Navy Admiral to be promoted to Chief of Defence Force.
