Kamarul Bahrin Bin Haron was formerly Editor-in-Chief of Astro Awani. In his 27 years of media career, this multiple award-winning TV journalist, editor and talk show anchor is well known for his grassroot focused journalism without fear or favour.  He is especially sharp on the issues of digital, social, and economic inclusion, new politics reforms, 4th Industrial Revolution and socio development balance, social entrepreneurship for a more equitable society and science and technology communications.

This bachelor of broadcasting graduate from Universiti Sains Malaysia has refined the art of balancing the depth and width of challenging topics like political reforms, vaccine inequality and inter faith issues into mass friendly editorial narratives and even live discourse on air.

His acumen and media contributions has also been recognised internationally. He is the first Malaysian to be accredited as Media Leader to attend and cover the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos after moderating key strategic sessions at WEF ASEAN in Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh and Hanoi.

He is currently on a new mission to disrupt the old and build new ways to make media platform more grassroot driven than elitist in terms of content generation and revenue opportunities. He is sparking a momentum with like-minded disruptors for a much-needed disruption of media, financial and government technologies by innovating a digital grassroot driven regional media. While striving for this innovation, Kamarul makes time for gigs of journalistic passion as journalist, director, producer, anchor and strategist for media and communication initiatives.
