Permaisuri Siti Aishah (Jawi: ڤرمايسوري سيتي عائشه; bornSiti Aishah binti Abdul Rahman; 18 November 1971) is the consort of the 11thYang di-Pertuan Agong ofMalaysia,Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj of Selangor. She was the youngest everRaja Permaisuri Agong (Queen) ofMalaysia, ascending the throne at the age of 28 on 26 April 1999.
She was born on 18 November 1971 and grew up inKuala Lumpur. She received her early education at the Jalan Gurney Primary School and her secondary education at the Puteri Titiwangsa Secondary School, Kuala Lumpur. She then furthered her studies in banking at theKelantan branch campus of theUniversiti Teknologi MARA (Formerly known as Institut Teknologi Mara) inKota Bharu, Kelantan.
Having marriedSultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah Al-Haj on 3 May 1990, she was made Che Puan Besar of Selangor. On 24 October 1998, she became Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor with style Her Royal Highness Tengku Permaisuri Siti Aishah, Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor.
The second commoner to become Raja Permaisuri Agong, she is believed to have remarried since the death of her husband the late king on 21 November 2001 – a claim which she has since denied.[1]
She came back into the public eye onNew Year's Day 2006 for an exclusive interview byThe Star Malaysia, where the newspaper had wrongly addressed by her former title, "Tuanku Siti Aishah". TheSelangor Council of the Royal Court immediately responded that the widowed consort of the lateSultan of Selangor should instead be properly addressed asHer HighnessPermaisuri Siti Aishah.[2] The honorific title Yang Amat Mulia was in recognition of the Darjah Kerabat Yang Amat Dihormati (DK, The Most Honourable Royal Family Order of Selangor), which was conferred on her by her late husband.
In the interview, she talked about her life since the late king (whom she fondly referred to asAlmarhum) died, how she coped with his death with her family's love and support, her role as the former queen of Malaysia, her relationship with the late king, and her hope to find love and remarry again, with her parents' blessings.[3]
Permaisuri Siti Aishah was also the patron of the UiTM Alumni, Selangor Women’s Association, Selangor Girl Guides, Jantung Hatiku Society and Girl Guides Association of Malaysia.
