Dr. Siti Mariah binti Mahmud (born 14 February 1958) is a Malaysian politician. She is currently the member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly for Seri Serdang. She is now a member of the National Trust Party (AMANAH), in the Pakatan Harapan (PH) ruling coalition. Siti Mariah was previously the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Kota Raja constituency in Selangor when she was a former member of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) opposition coalition.
Siti Mariah was elected to Parliament in the 2008 election, winning the seat of Kota Raja, which had been held by the 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]
Before entering politics, Siti Mariah was a doctor and lecturer. She has six children.[4]
