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.
Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said has been urged by a Sabah MP to apologize to the Catholic community after making an offensive joke at the recent Umno general assembly. Wilfred Madius Tangau, the Tuaran MP and Tamparuli assemblyman, condemned the joke as "grossly inappropriate and offensive." Tangau stated that sacred scripture, Catholic priests, and religious sisters should not be sexualized or ridiculed from the stage of a major national political party.
Noorazli recounted a joke about a priest who made inappropriate advances toward a nun, referencing Psalm 129 incorrectly. Tangau called on Noorazli to acknowledge his poor judgment, withdraw the false reference to the Bible, and issue an unqualified public apology to the Catholic and wider Christian community.
