Former science minister Yeo Bee Yin has called on her successor Khairy Jamaluddin to step up and offer technological solutions so that Parliament can conduct a virtual sitting.

Yeo, who was energy, science, technology, environment and climate change minister in the Pakatan Harapan administration, asked why Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy was “extraordinarily silent” on advocating the use of technology in holding virtual parliamentary sitting in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
