Defusing tension


DATUK Dr Anwar Fazal wears many hats. Besides co-founding and holding positions in many non-governmental organisations including the Consumers Association of Penang, the active grandfather is also the chairman of Think City – a subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional.

The United Nations Development Programme former senior regional advisor and former Universiti Sains Malaysia professor added another feather to his cap after successfully spearheading urban regeneration in Penang through Think City. He has always been on the forefront of activism, championing heritage restoration, environmental conservation and humanitarian rights, just to name a few causes.
