Microlink has appointed Ramlee Abdullah as its new Group Chief Executive Officer to replace Chia Yong Wei who is stepping down from the role after six years at the helm.
Ramlee originally joined the OMESTI Group in January 2019 as Head of Sales with a remit to expand the Group’s regional footprint across South East Asia for its Digital HR, Core Banking, and eCOURTS Digital Courts solutions, in particular in Indonesia and Thailand. In March 2022, he transferred to Microlink to head the Public Sector business pillar and has since been instrumental in significantly raising the Group’s profile with organisations in that sector.
Ramlee holds a track record of more than 30 years in the Banking & Financial Services sector in the Asia, Middle East and Africa regions. He has held senior positions with top-tier organisations that include Oracle Corporation, Sunline, HSBC Bank Malaysia, Silverlake Systems and Temenos. With hands-on international experience in multiple territories, he has managed sales and business operations in the Middle East [Kuwait], Asia, and China, as well as Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Laos.
Microlink’s sound track record of complex project implementation has enabled expansion beyond its strong legacy in FSI, into telecommunications and the public sector. Recent successes have included a key project valued at some RM35.1 million awarded by Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) Malaysia. The three-year project involves the development of an Open System Platform for the Automatic Awareness Security or AwAS System infrastructure.
The group was also engaged as a key delivery partner for the implementation of a new Business Support Systems [BSS] platform for a major telecommunications organisation. This has led to opportunities for expansion into other geographies within South East Asia and the Middle East.
