Early career

Political career
Siti Mariah was elected to Parliament in the 2008 Malaysian general election, gaining the seat of Kota Raja from the then-ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.[1] It was reported that her victory—for the Islamist PAS—came with the support of ethnic Chinese and Indian voters.[2] She was successfully reelected again in the 2013 election but she did not seek a third term reelection for her Kota Raja parliamentary seat in the 2018 election to make way for Mohamad Sabu, the president of AMANAH. She contested and won the Selangor State Legislative Assembly constituency of Seri Serdang instead as AMANAH of PH candidate for the first time.
In 2005, Siti Mariah was the first female candidate for vice-president of PAS, but her candidacy was defeated.[3] She has subsequently been portrayed as representing the "new dynamic progressive voice" of PAS.[4]
Personal life
She has six children.[4]
