She is a member of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition and the head of the party's women's wing.[1]

She was elected to the Dewan Rakyat (the lower house of Malaysia's Parliament) for Rantau Panjang in the 2008 election.[2] Before her election she was a Senator for Kelantan, an appointed position.[3] In 2011 she was elected as the head of PAS Muslimat, the women's wing of PAS.

In July 2014, after the shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, Siti Zailah stated that in light of the possibility of "Allah's wrath" Malaysia Airlines should stop serving alcohol and revise the dress code of the female flight attendants, and especially so for Muslim females. Empower, the non-governmental organization criticized her statements, accusing them of being "insensitive and irrelevant".[5]
