The 32-year-old Sarawakian's best lift of 237kg in his second attempt was good enough to place him second behind winner Sodnompiljee Enkhbayar of Mongolia in the nine-man contest.
Sodnompiljee, also the reigning world champion, won the gold by posting a new Paralympics record of 245kg, erasing the previous mark of 238kg by Rio 2016 champion Pavlos Mamalos of Greece. By securing a podium position this time, Yee Khie has marked a major improvement from his Games debut five years ago where he could only manage seventh spot in the 97kg category.
The national contingent have now won two medals, including a historic gold from Bonnie Bunyau Gustin in the 72kg category on Saturday.
