She was honoured with the title Darjah Indera Mahkota Pahang (DIMP) by the Sultan of Pahang which carries the title 'Datuk' infront of her name.To date, she has garnered more than 100 local awards as well as international awards.Datuk Siti Nurhaliza was born in Berek Polis kg. Awah, Temerloh. During her childhood she was involved in various school activities, including sports and class speeches.
Siti Nurhaliza had her pre-school kindergarten days at the Sekolah Tabika Perkep, Balai Polis Kampung Awah, Temerloh. Here she showed her early singing talent at the age of six when she sang "Sirih Pinang", a Malay traditional song, at her kindergarten's end of year event. She had her primary school (standard 1 to standard 6) education at the Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Clifford and followed up her secondary education (Form 1 to Form 5) at the Sekolah Menengah Clifford, Kuala Lipis, Pahang. She was an athlete in school and this showed when at the opening ceremony of the Fiesta Media Idola 2006 in Kuantan she was a torch bearer to light the games of the Fiesta, together with actress Fasha Sanda.Siti had also won a singing contest when she was twelve years old. She sang the patriotic song "Bahtera Merdeka" at a Kuala Lipis Carnival in conjunction with the "Nyanyian Bulan Kemerdekaan" (Independence Month Singing Contest). It was said that perhaps she had inherited her precocious musical talent and singing flair and ability from her grandfather, who was a famous violinist, and her mother, who was a popular local singer of traditional songs.Siti Nurhaliza's family performed at many local ceremonies in their hometown, such as weddings. At the age of twelve, Siti began to learn traditional songs from her mother and went on performing that genre of music during special occasions and events.
Later, as she continued to work on her singing, she participated in numerous local singing competitions. At 16, she competed in the 1995 RTM Juara Bintang competition. While there, she met Adnan Abu Hassan, a famous Malaysian music composer. He tutored her and helped her with her vocal performance, and ultimately she won the contest. After that, she was granted a contract with Suria Records and in 1996 released her first self-titled album, Siti Nurhaliza. Completing her first album was a challenge because she had to balance working on her album with her preparations for the SPM examination. Despite this, her first album was a great success, and paved the way for successful subsequent albums.Siti held a successful solo concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London in April 1, 2005, although the majority of the audience were Malaysians living in the United Kingdom and Malaysians who had travelled just to see the concert. From this concert also, major press in Britain taught her as 'Asia's Celine Dion'-due to her powerful vocal and outstanding perfomances.

She has sung themes for movies (eg. Puteri Gunung Ledang) and corporate jingles (eg. the Malaysian wireless communications firm Maxis).

Dikaranglah oleh biduan dahulu
Sri Mersing lagulah melayu
Dikaranglah oleh biduan dahulu
Hatiku runsing bertambahlah pilu
Mengenangkan nasib
Mengenangkan nasib
Hatiku rungsing bertambahlah pilu
Mengenangkan nasib
Mengenangkan nasib
Yatimlah piatu
Pantai Mersing Kualalah Johor
Pantainya bersih sangatlah mashyur
Pantai Mersing Kualalah Johor
Pantainya bersih sangatlah masyur
Pohonkan doa kitalah bersyukur
Negaralah kita negaralah kita
Hai aman dan makmur
Pohonkan doa kitalah bersyukur
Negaralah kita negaralah kita
Hai aman dan makmur
The song Sri Mersing, written by an anonymous singer long ago, is a classic Malaysian Malay song that tells a sad story of a person's hardship due to their difficult fate as an orphan. The song implies that the singer is feeling sad and lonely, with a heavy heart that's getting sadder by the day. The repetition of "hatiku rungsing bertambahlah pilu, mengenangkan nasib yatimlah piatu" emphasizes the singer's pain and misfortune, and their feeling of abandonment. Despite the song's poignant storyline, it also celebrates the beauty of Pantai Mersing, a beach located in Johor, Malaysia that's popular for its cleanliness and stunning scenery. The lyrics encourage Malaysians to be grateful for their country's prosperity and to pray for its continued peace and prosperity.
One interpretation of the song is that it's a metaphor for the struggles and hardships of everyday life in Malaysia. The lyrics suggest that the ordeals of the singer are, in some way, representative of the ordeals of life in Malaysia. The song is a commentary on the struggles that people face in their daily lives, and how those hardships can lead to feelings of abandonment, sadness, and loneliness. The emphasis on Pantai Mersing highlights the beauty of Malaysia and the hope that the country can continue to prosper despite the hardships.
