Datin Seri Raihanah holds a degree from the Chartered Insurance Institute of United Kingdom and Malaysia and has been an associate member of the said Institutes since 1989.

As a scholar of American Malaysian Insurance Sdn Bhd (later known as CIMB Bank Insurance) she started her insurance career with the company immediately after successfully completing her course in 1984 and has held various positions in the Underwriting and Marketing Departments before leaving in 1988 to join Malene Insurance Brokers Sdn Bhd.
During her 10-year service at Malene, she was exposed to various aspects of the oil and gas industry and was involved in the Insurance programmes for Petronas, Shell, Esso (now known as Exxon-Mobil) and various other oil and gas-related companies such as Gas Malaysia Sdn Bhd and MISC. Her experience also included an attachment with a London-based Lloyds broker.
She left Malene in 1997 when she was the Acting Chief Executive Officer, to dedicate more time in bringing up her three young children. To ensure that she was in touch with the insurance industry and coupled with her experience and knowledge in insurance underwriting and broking, she made time, from 1998 to 1999, while being a homemaker, to be a part-time lecturer with the Malaysian Insurance Institute who conducted short courses for those in the insurance industry to obtain a more in-depth knowledge of the business.
In August 2005, Raihan was appointed as a Non-Executive Director to the board of a public-listed fibre-based manufacturing company called Wang Zheng Berhad. She served as an active board member at Wang Zheng for 8 years.
She was also appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) Foundation for a three-year term from 2007.
MMA Foundation is a non-profit organization which provides financial assistance for undergraduate medical students, continuing professional development, public health education and donations to charities.
She was also recently appointed to the Board of AngsanaCare, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting in pediatric palliative care programs.
