Dr Wan Hasni Wan Sulaiman is one of the founder and Executive Chairman of Abrar Corporation. He studied Actuarial science in one of the top US actuarial university.
When Anwar Ibrahim visit that University as Education Minister. Wan Hasni Wan Sulaiman has a personal meeting with Anwar and become supporter of Anwar since then. He shift to Finance from Actuarial when he study PhD and obtain a Dr in Finance. During his PhD, he started a hedge fund like George Soros but using Islamic finance method. With the support from his rich Arab course meet, he able to raise fund and invest in high-tech stock. With his skillful investment strategy. He become a millionaire in US when he complete his Dr in Finance.
He bring his fund back to Malaysia to form Abrar Group. Anwar has become Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister at that point of time. However, Abrar core business is in construction and not finance! No wonder our present Prime Minister said we have too much contractor??
During Asia Financial Crisis. Dr Wan Hasni Wan Sulaiman was seen as crony of Anwar. Thus, Abrar Group was not save like UEM(Time),MRCB, Naluri (MAS)and Indah Water. Abrar's Finance Company was not selected as one of the anchor bank and merge with another bank.
It is not sure whether he has a plan to make a come back like ex-chairman of KFC after release of Anwar.
