KOTA KINABALU: Another MP has landed himself in hot water after wading into the issue surrounding university student Veveonah Mosibin, whose videos of her trekking into the jungle and climbing trees to get an Internet connection to study went viral.

Kudat MP Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri criticised Veveonah in a Facebook post for allegedly risking her safety when she chose to spend a night on a tree to get a better Internet connection in her village in northern Pitas district.

However, Abdul Rahim disputed her remarks while maintaining that there was no final exam held online by Universiti Malaysia Sabah during that time. Abdul Rahim said the lecturer also advised students who preferred to stay in their hometowns to go to town or their nearest towns, district offices or schools to get on with their online studies.

"So what I don’t understand here is how can she claim that she lives in Kg Sapatalang when they don’t even have a house there?” he asked. Abdul Rahim’s Facebook remarks did not bode well with social media users, with many urging him to watch other Veveonah’s videos to fully comprehend the issue of bad Internet connection in the village.Others were angry that his remark appeared to be pushing the blame back to Veveonah.
