Subsequently, he joined Renong Berhad as Senior General Manager of Finance in 1996, before joining Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad as Head of Corporate Finance in 1999. He was then appointed as Chief Operation Officer of Putra Capital Berhad in 2001. In November 2001, he joined Media Prima Berhad group of companies where he held several key positions such as Chief Financial Officer, Group Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director throughout his 16-year tenure.
Amrin then joined Sime Darby Properties Berhad in 2017 as Group Managing Director before moving on to Boustead Holdings Berhad as Managing Director from June 2019 to November 2020. Thereafter, he became the Chief Executive Officer of Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera in May 2021, before being appointed as Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lembaga Tabung Haji. He is currently the Group Managing Director of Tradewinds Group (M) Sdn. Bhd., a position he held since June 2023.
He was formerly a Director of several non-listed and listed companies in Malaysia such as TH Plantations Berhad, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad, Taliworks Corporation Berhad, CIMB Bank Berhad, and a former trustee of several non-profit organisations. He was formerly a board member of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the Chairman of its Investment Committee and Risk Committee.
Presently, he is a Director of several public and private limited companies in Malaysia, as well as foreign companies, which include Lotus Group International Ltd and Lotus Technology Inc. in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. He is also a board member of Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan. |

| Family relationship with any director and/or major shareholder of the listed issuer | None |
| Any conflict of interests that he/she has with the listed issuer | Potential conflict of interests: Amrin holds directorship in two property development companies with undeveloped lands in Johor and Kuala Lumpur. While currently there is no actual competition, potential competition with the listed issuer may arise in the event either party expand its venture subsequently to the same geographical locations. Additionally, his wife is an employee of a property development company with developments spanning across different regions in Malaysia. She is not directly involved in the business decision making. However, given the proximity of certain development projects undertaken, by both parties, they may potentially pursue opportunities in overlapping jurisdictions. |
