I had the pleasure of catching up Datuk Seri Shamsul in recently at the Malaysian Parliament and he kindly took some time out to jump on the podcast. Datuk Seri Shamsul Iskandar was appointed to the role of Senior Political Secretary to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Before this he was the Deputy Minister of Primary Industries under the former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and he was the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Hang Tuah Jaya and for Bukit Katil.

He is also the Vice President of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of the ruling PH coalition. Datuk Seri Shamsul has been dubbed the giant-killer after he managed to defeat the then Melakan chief minister Ali Rustam for the Bukit Katil parliamentary seat in 2013.

I’m super excited about this episode. It’s very rare to come across someone who has excelled so much in the corporate world and at the same time has done so much for the community. Through knowing Moustafa I now realise that anything is possible with belief and sheer determination. I remember when he said, 'I'm going to build an Islamic museum' I naively thought, 'How is that even possible? You'd have to raise at least $2m'. Not only did he do that, he raised another $10m and built the first Islamic Museum in the Western world. We now have a waqf institution that will inshallah continue to educate people for generations. I personally owe so much to Moustafa and I certainly would not have had the opportunities I have had if it wasn’t for him and his family.

Moustafa Fahour OAM is the current Chief Operating Officer of Plenary Middle East and is the founder of the Islamic Museum of Australia. Formerly the CEO and Managing Director of one of the leading diversified international contractors in the Middle East, based in Dubai. He has over 22 years of experience in the banking industry, construction, management and has held senior roles with CIMIC Group, Macquarie Bank, National Australia Bank, UBS and Citigroup. In addition to that, Moustafa Chaired the redevelopment of the Umar Ibn al-Khattab Masjid in Preston, VIC.

He was recognised with the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) by the Australian Government in 2015, was selected as one of The World's Most Influential Young Arabs under the age of 40, by Arabian Business and the distinguished Alumni Award by La Trobe University in 2016.
