We all know this celebrity chef for being outspoken and gregarious. Datuk Redzuawan Ismail or Chef Wan as he is fondly known, is a live wire. He’s passionate not only about food but social issues and uses his social media platform – he has half a million followers on Instagram – to speak his mind and share his views.

But now, the 60-year-old chef has donned another hat – he’s become an advocate for the elderly, speaking out against elder abuse and neglect.
