#1

Life isn’t easy and there are days we just feel like giving up. Sometimes we just a need an inspirational story to keep us going. There’s a lot of books, movies and TV series out there where the main character achieved their goal in the end.

While fiction can help, maybe all we need is 1 true story about someone who went from rags to riches to really get us motivated. From being rejected from a loan to start his own business to now exceeding RM1 billion in annual sales, here’s the story about the founder of popular burger brand, Ramly Burger.

Ramly Bin Mokni was born in Tanjung Piandang, Perak and raised in Sekinchan with his 16 siblings. Once he was old enough, he moved to Kuala Lumpur to find a job. How did the idea of owning a burger business come about? It was actually when a customer asked him back in 1978.

When Ramly was working in a supermarket, a customer asked him if there were burger patties made by a bumiputera as it wasn’t very popular back in those days, plus people weren’t very sure if the burger meats were halal. That ignited an idea in Ramly.

He then decided to create his own halal burger meat recipe with his wife, Shala Siah Binti Abdul Manap. Ramly went to apply for a RM7,000 loan at MARA (Majlis Amanah Rakyat) to start his business but sadly he was rejected. Instead, he used his own savings of RM2,000.
