Mahathir and Sidi's rich girls fell in love with poor boys, but met with strong opposition.

During Mahathir University, there were 70 classmates, most of whom were Chinese students, only seven Malay students, and only one young girl, that is, Siti Hasma, who will become Mrs. Mahathir.

Mahathir cherished this reading opportunity. In addition, he is smart and studious, so his grades are among the best in his class, and he often helps those who have a poor foundation in his studies.

Sidi is Mahathir's classmate and the only female among the seven Malay classmates. Therefore, at this time, she can be said to be spoiled. Unlike Mahathir, who was born in an ordinary family, Siti comes from the big city of Kuala Lumpur and comes from a distinguished family, but this does not stop her from falling in love with the poor Mahathir because she appreciates Mahathir's knowledge and political ideas.

Sidi had never studied physics before she went to college, and she was worried that she would be held back. Under such circumstances, Mahathir was naturally a "hero to save beauty" and became Sidi's mentor. Their relationship soon rose from an ordinary friend to a lover.

This is a big deal for Mahathir, because he has never been in contact with other women except with his own family in the past. Sidi is his first love and his lifelong love. However, Mahathir was still ashamed to open his mouth until the two had figured it out. Recalling Mahathir's proposal, the first lady said sweetly: "Mahathir was very shy. He didn't say anything to me, but wrote me a LOVE note in English!"

When Mahathir proposed marriage to the Siti family, he met with strong opposition because the two families were not in the right house. However, good things happen-in August 1956, the two were married.
