Fareesha passed away on Wednesday while receiving treatment for her illness, around 8.30 pm Maldives time. At the time of her death, she was 65 years old.
She was first treated in Bengaluru, India, from March this year. She was transferred to Singapore on May 16th.
Nephew Ghassan Maumoon and nieces Yumna Maumoon and Dhunya Maumoon were in Singapore, along with President Maumoon and Nasreena Ibrahim. Only Faris Maumoon was not able to meet Fareesha Ibrahim as the Government had confiscated his passport and barred him from travelling.
