We spend so much of our lives online but have we thought about what will happen to our digital trails and assets when we die?

It is a question that came up for husband-and-wife content creators Muhammad Alif Ramli and Liyana Syahirah Ismail Johari.

They realise, for example, if no clear instructions are left behind, not knowing the passwords or about dormant accounts on long-forgotten platforms can pose problems.

It is especially important, given Mr Alif’s medical history.

When Mr Alif was 10, he was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer. He underwent multiple chemotherapy cycles and nine surgical operations, which the 28-year-old described as a “close-to-death experience”, before he recovered.

In the fourth episode of The Straits Times’ docuseries Let’s Talk About Death, Mr Alif and Ms Liyana, 27, seek help from experts to consolidate their digital assets.

They speak to a cyber security expert to find out how to best manage their passwords. They also talk to a lawyer who specialises in digital assets to look into protecting their social media accounts, which may generate revenue in the future.

Finally, Mr Alif and Ms Liyana also attempt to write their wills with the help of artificial intelligence tools, with the key question being: Will they be valid under syariah law?

Let’s Talk About Death is a five-episode docuseries that follows several millennials and their loved ones as they navigate end-of-life planning, and it starts honest conversations about death and dying well.
