On 6 October 1940, Kefli was born in Kampong Kuala Balai,[1] to a nobleman, Orang Kaya Laila Setia Haji Razali. After being moved from Rifle Company AMDB, he began his career in 1967 in the RBN's Boat Section.

After completing the hovercraft training on the Isle of Wight in the UK, he became the first local officer to have the hovercraft pilot SR.N5 and SR.N6 certifications. He has also served as the executive officer and subsequently the commanding officer of a number of other ships and boats, including KDB Pahlawan (P-01) and Raja Isteri-class patrol boats.
One of Kefli's most memorable experiences as a member of the RBN was pulling an AML ship that was damaged after it collided with a fishing vessel near Ujong Tanjong Sapuh. Twice, he was granted the privilege of leading the RBN. The first occurred between 22 April 1983 and 30 September 1986, while the second took place between 25 June 1993 and 3 February 1995. While still being the commander of the RBN, he also co-currently held the position of director of personnel from 1 March 1990 to 3 January 1994.[4]
