Background

Tengku Aishah was born on 19 June 1952, in Batu Gajah, Perak to Tengku Seri Utama Raja Tengku Besar Mahmud ibni Almarhum Sultan Zainal Abidin III and his second wife, To' Puan Hajjah Zainun binti Haji Su Mahmud.[2] She is of Terengganu royal lineage.

Tengku Aishah studied in Sekolah Rendah Sultan Sulaiman, Kuala Terengganu and later Convent Taiping. She also studied in Convent Bukit Nanas in Kuala Lumpur.

She previously worked in a bank where she met her husband, Tunku Muhriz.[citation needed]

Becoming Queen

Tuanku Aishah was installed the 11th Tunku Ampuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan on 14 April 2009[2] in Seri Menanti royal palace. The ceremony was steeped in tradition and followed old Negeri Sembilan royal customs where the installation of the queen preceded the installation of the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan.
