Early Life and Beliefs
Rosina Kamis held strong views about the Malaysian government's practices, including the belief that the country's identity card system was "Taliban-like" and that the government was seeking to arrest her due to her declared apostasy from Islam.

Struggles in Canada
After relocating to Canada, Rosina faced numerous personal challenges, including chronic health conditions such as leukemia and fibromyalgia. These conditions, coupled with her mental suffering, loneliness, and poverty, led her to seek Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in 2021.
