"I was not born as 'Siti Hasmah'. I was only born (with the name) 'Hasmah'."
KUALA LUMPUR: The wife of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has let the nation in on a "little secret" behind her name.
While Malaysians know her as Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, the nonagenarian revealed that her real name does not have "Siti" – it is simply "Hasmah".
