The Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister, Zahidi Zainul Abidin is missing the wood for the trees when he should be listing the areas in Sabah and elsewhere which will benefit from the government’s bridging the digital divide programme by the end of the year.

Why is Zahidi flogging a dead horse, trying to justify his Thursday morning statement in the Senate accusing Veveonah Mosibin of lying that she had to spend 24 hours on a tree-top to gain internet connectivity for an online examination.

In the process, Zahidi has even tried to drag the MP for Kudat and Deputy Finance Minister, Abdul Rahim Bakri into the soup he is in.

Does Zaidi understand the elementary truth that he is responsible for any statement he made in Parliament and not his informer, right or wrong?

It is indeed tragic that Malaysia has a deputy minister who does not understand such an elementary truth.

Zahidi took to Facebook on Thursday evening to admit that he did not obtain the correct information when he spoke about Veveonah at the Senate that morning.

Is Zahidi withdrawing his correction and insisting that Veveonah had actually lied.

I don’t think Zahidi knows what he is saying or doing.

Can Zahidi understand the problem of digital divide in the country and the agonies not only of Veveonah Mosibin of Pitas but all the Veveonahs in Sabah, Sarawak and Malaysia at a time when internet education is becoming more and more important?

Can Zahidi list the areas in Sabah which will benefit from the government’s programme to close the digital divide in the country?

=======================

Zahidi gagal fokus kepada soalan untuk menyenaraikan kawasan di Sabah dan negeri lain yang akan menerima manfaat melalui program merapatkan jurang digital kerajaan menjelang akhir tahun ini

Timbalan Menteri Komunikasi dan Multimedia, Zahidi Zainul Abidin gagal memahami isu yang ditanyakan, di mana beliau diminta untuk menyenaraikan kawasan-kawasan di Sabah dan negeri-negeri lain yang akan menerima manfaat melalui usaha kerajaan untuk merapatkan jurang digital menjelang akhir tahun ini.

Mengapakah Zahidi masih cuba untuk mempertahankan kenyataannya pada hari Khamis lepas yang telah menuduh Vevenoah Mosibin menipu apabila Vevenoah mengatakan yang beliau terpaksa berada di atas pokok selama 24 jam untuk mendapat sambungan internet untuk menduduki peperiksaan.

Dalam mempertahankan kenyataannya ini, beliau juga telah cuba untuk menyalahkan Ahli Parlimen Kudat yang juga Timbalan Menteri Kewangan 1, Abdul Rahim Karim.

Adakah Zahidi memahami yang beliau sendiri perlu bertanggungjawab ke atas sebarang kenyataan yang dibuatnya di Parlimen, tanpa mengira sesiapa yang memberitahunya mengenai sesuatu perkara itu, sama ada betul atau salah.

Amat tragis nasib negara kita apabila seorang Timbalan Menteri tidak memahami perkara ini.

Pada petang Khamis lepas, Zahidi cuba untuk menjelaskan yang beliau telah menerima maklumat yang tidak benar semasa beliau mengeluarkan kenyataan berkenaan Vevenoah dalam Dewan Negara pada waktu pagi hari yang sama.

Adakah Zahidi kini menarik semula pembetulan beliau dan cuba mengatakan yang Vevenoah menipu?

Saya tidak percaya yang Zahidi tahu apa yang dikatakan beliau.

Mampukah Zahidi untuk memahami masalah jurang digital dalam negara kita dan penderitaan yang dihadapi bukan sahaja oleh Vevenoah Mosibin daripada Pitas, tetapi juga oleh ramai lagi rakyat Malaysia di Sabah, Sarawak, dan seluruh Malaysia dalam zaman di mana internet menjadi salah satu keperluan penting untuk kehidupan harian.

Bolehkah Zahidi menyenaraikan kawasan-kawasan di Sabah yang akan menerima manfaat daripada program kerajaan untuk merapatkan jurang digital ini?

    A Deputy Minister of Communications and Multimedia and a Deputy Finance Minister, both of them not only clueless what their jobs are but in trying to excuse their failures did their homework badly, and went out on a limb on it at the expense of a young poor rural student.

    These anachronistic mind set and ideas will walk away from corruption and abuse of power especially when they have blind religious faith backing them? Why would they? They foolishly cannot even walk away from abuse of young rural college student..
