Deputy Minister's comment about Veveonah merely highlights reality of Sabah’s Internet gap, says youth council


KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Youth Council says the predicament faced by Veveonah Mosibin in rural Pitas is not surprising as some areas in the state are still experiencing bad Internet connectivity.

Its deputy president Abqaree Fawwaz Abekan (pic) said this in expressing disappointment at Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Zahidi Zainul Abidin, who has since apologised to the 18-year old Universiti Malaysia Sabah student after falsely accusing her of lying to gain online fame during a Dewan Negara session.
