Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Dr Yee Moh Chai has failed his duty despite being the Minister in charge of Sabah's Information Technology development for eight years.
Information Chief Chong Pit Fah said the Minister kept on blaming others for his failure such as in the issue of broadband services in Sabah when he blamed Federal Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Dr Rais Yatim for it.
"Now he just woke up on the parabolic satellite disc issue. He is sleeping on the job.
"Instead of making comments to blame others, he (Yee) should apologise to all the parabolic satellite disc owners," he said in a statement here Monday.
Yee had commented on the recent statewide crackdown by the Customs Department that saw 193 parabolic satellite disc confiscated.
Yee was reported as saying that it was ridiculous to bar people from using the satellite disc in this ICT era.
"It is Yee who is ridiculous. He has been the Minister in charge of the ICT in Sabah and only now he is seeing all this?" asked Chong.
According to him, the Customs Department is under Federal Finance Ministry and the Minister is also the Prime Minister.
"So, Yee must hold the PM responsible for the actions against the parabolic satellite disc. Or will he be doing like the SAS issue, covering up for his Umno bosses," said Chong.
In fact, the matter showed that the Barisan Nasional (BN) in Sabah is dependent on Kuala Lumpur without its own autonomy and would not be able to get anything done without the Federal endorsement, he said.
