Ramlee Awang Murshid (born 4 November 1967, in Papar, Malaysia) is a Malaysian novelist of Bruneian Malay descent.
He attended the Kapayan Primary School in Kota Kinabalu from 1974 to 1979 for his primary education and later graduated from Sabah College also located in Kota Kinabalu, in 1984, where he furthered his secondary education. He later furthered his tertiary studies at the National University of Malaysia, where he obtained his Certificate of Communication in 2000 as well as his Bachelor of Arts (honours) degree in Communications.[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. His reporting job, which sometimes brought him to travel to various countries, played a significant role in his writing. Some of those works, which are set in faraway countries such as Japan, were inspired by his travels.[1]
