The late Intan Mustika Putri Mokhtar (Yuuki Setsuna) fought terminal illness and state harassment with equal passion.

I think I have reached that stage in life when the demise of people I know has accelerated. Just three weeks ago I was writing about the passing of my friend Saudara Zulkarnian Abdullah, a Parti Rakyat Malaysia diehard.

What she had in common with Zul is that both were committed battlers for their cause. Fighting an uphill and lonely battle for a new and better Malaysia.Yuuki’s real name was Intan Mustika Putri Mokhtar. She was 41 when she died of kidney failure. A mother of two who was from Cheras, she worked in customer centres handling clients like Singapore Airlines, and before that she was with a testing centre handling ETS and TOEFL candidates.

She wrote in 2016: “I cannot tolerate this injustice and violation of our fundamental humanity, so our fight for the movement of cannabis medicine and our human rights continues. We managed to get attention.” “Things are still the same,” says Zam. “We still struggle with the law, the perception and I still bear an ex-convict title. But the spirit comes from the people who support and have faith in medical cannabis, especially from the patients who are in need. I think this is what brings Yuuki to the next level of activism. She inspires people with her experiences.”

“I think she had enough of this discrimination, and I'm sure she doesn't want anyone to suffer like her before.”
