Yee appointed Sabah deputy chief minister

Yee will fill up the vacancy left by Peter Pang who was dropped last week.

KOTA KINABALU: Resources Development and Information Technology Minister Dr Yee Moh Chai has been appointed Deputy Chief Minister of Sabah.

Speaking to reporters after chairing the state Cabinet meeting today, Chief Minister Musa Aman said Yee would fill up the vacancy left by Peter Pang En Yin, who was dropped from the post on March 16 but retained as state Youth and Sports Minister.


Pang who was then the deputy chief minister quit Parti Liberal Demokratik (LDP), a Barisan Nasional (BN) component party, on Sept 1, after the party’s deputy president, Chin Su Phin, said that the party’s leadership was no longer able to work with Musa, who is Sabah BN chairman.

Pang later joined Gerakan.

Yee, 56, who is Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) deputy president and Api Api assemblyman, will hold the post representing the Chinese community.

Sabah has three deputy chief ministers. The other two are Joseph Pairin Kitingan (representing the Kadazandusun community) and Yahya Hussin (representing the Muslim Bumiputera).
