Apologise to Catholics over crass joke, Sabah MP tells Sepang Umno chief
Wilfred Madius Tangau says Noorazli Said’s joke at the Umno general assembly last Saturday sexualised and ridiculed the Catholic clergy.
Tuaran MP Wilfred Madius Tangau has urged Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said to apologise to Catholics for a "grossly inappropriate and offensive" joke made at the recent Umno general assembly. Tangau, who represents Tamparuli assembly, criticized the joke as offensive, stating that sacred scripture and religious figures should not be sexualised or ridiculed on the stage of a major national political party.
Noorazli recounted a story about a priest who made a sexual advance towards a nun during a ride home, referencing Psalm 129 incorrectly. Tangau called for Noorazli to acknowledge his poor judgment, withdraw the false reference, and offer a public apology to the Catholic and wider Christian community. Several Facebook users encouraged Tangau to lodge a police report, arguing that joking about religion is a 3R (race, religion, and royalty) offence.
