Datuk Siti Rahmah Kassim (30 November 1926 – 24 March 2017) was an independence fighter, best known for donating her golden bangle to Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's 1st Prime Minister, to pay for his flight to London to meet with Secretary of State for the Colonies Oliver Lyttelton and negotiate the independence of Malaya (which subsequently became Malaysia in 1963) from the United Kingdom.
In 1957 Tunku Abdul Rahman had called for an emergency UMNO meeting at Dewan Hang Tuah in Bandar Hilir, Malacca, where he lamented that the party did not have sufficient funds to send him and his delegates to Britain for independence negotiations, and asked for donations from the public.
"Those who are inside and outside this hall, please make donations to help Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj to go to London for the sake of the people and nation," she said.
Siti Rahmah began her political career at the young age of 18 when she actively protested against the Malayan Union, and she became the first woman to contest in the 1959 general election.
Her body was brought to the Al-Hidayah Mosque for funeral prayers and buried at the Bukit Kiara Muslim cemetery.
