He joined the police force in 1984 and served for 34 years before become a retired senior police officer inRoyal Malaysia Police (RMP) with the rank ofAssistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).[3][4]
On 26 January 2019, Ramli firstly contested inCameron Highlands by-election and he was picked as candidate given that he was the direct member of BN. He went on to win the by-election and became the new Cameron Highlands MP.[5] The election was held after the Election Court on 30 November 2018 declared the victory of the incumbent MP of BN and theMalaysian Indian Congress (MIC),Sivarraajh Chandran for the seat in the election null and void because it was found that corrupt practices had been committed in the2018 general election (GE14).[6]
He won the by-election after defeatingM. Manogaran ofDemocratic Action Party (DAP) fromPakatan Harapan (PH) and two other independent candidates, Wong Seng Yee and Sallehudin Ab Talib, with a majority of 3,238 votes.[7]
He is the first ever indigenousOrang Asli candidate to be elected into theDewan Rakyat as an MP.[8] Ramli later joined UMNO as its member.[9][10]
On 15 May 2020, he was appointed as Non-Executive Chairman ofAmanah Raya Berhad (ARB).[11]
On 1 March 2022, he was tasked to chair the Dewan Rakyat sitting as temporary Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat II replacing Azalina Othman Said and created history as the first ever Orang Asli deputy speaker although not being officially appointed to the position yet. He is however widely expected to be officially appointed in the nextDewan Rakyat meeting after multiple postponements of the appointment on 14 September 2021 for the first time, 25 October 2021 for the second time, 1 March 2022 for the third time, 18 July 2022 for the fourth time[12] and 3 October 2022 for the fifth time[13] as well as his expected win in the contest for the position between him and former deputy speakerNga Kor Ming who is trying to make a comeback to the position.[14] However on 3 October 2022 whenMinister in the Prime Minister's Department in charge of Parliament and LawWan Junaidi unveiled the fifth postponement of the appointment of the deputy speaker position, he also revealed that thePakatan Harapan (PH) opposition coalition did not nominate another candidate, in contrast with the previous news and hence the government was withdrawing its candidate. Although he was yet to be officially appointed as deputy speaker, the media has already referred him as the deputy speaker, suggesting falsely that he had been officially appointed to the position during the period of these multiple postponements.[15]
