Life and career

Ramlee Awang was born in Papar in the state of Sabah on 4 November 1967. He attended in the Kapayan Primary School in Kota Kinabalu from 1974 to 1979. He graduated from Sabah College in 1984 after 4 years there. He furthered his studies from the National University of Malaysia, where he obtained his Certificate of Communication in 2000 as well as his Bachelor of Arts (honours) degree in Communication.[2]

He had involved himself in theatre since his teenage years, at times as a director, playwright or actor.[1] He was also a former reporter for Radio Televisyen Malaysia spanning 20 years from 1986 to 2010.

Adaptations of works

A film adaptation of one of Ramlee's more famous works, Tombiruo: Penunggu Rimba, was co-produced by Astro Shaw, book publisher Karangkraf, Ideate Media and Ramlee's own production company Layar Sunan.[3][4] The film was released to cinemas on 16 October 2017.[5] The four companies are also in the process of making a film adaptation of another work titled Bagaikan Puteri,[6] a historical fiction novel surrounding a young lady who is flung into the 15th century and ends up falling for an admiral of the Aceh Sultanate.

The thriller novel Mandatori was made into a 6-part miniseries as an exclusive release on Malaysian satellite TV provider Astro's on-demand service Astro First late 2017.[7]
