The trans community says that Aleesha's death should mark the end of abuse and discrimination in Malaysia.
PETALING JAYA: The passing of Aleesha Farhana over the weekend has sparked off a call from Malaysia’s trans community for the government and media to end all forms of discrimination against them.
Aleesha’s application to officially change her name and gender after undergoing a sex operation in Thailand was rejected by High Court judge, Yazid Mustafa, on July 18. She was previously known as Mohd Ashraf Hafiz Abdul Aziz.
