Catholic lawyers’ society to lodge police report over Umno leader’s joke
The Catholic Lawyers’ Society of Kuala Lumpur says Noorazli Said’s remarks may attract scrutiny under laws governing sedition and religious offences.
The Catholic Lawyers' Society of Kuala Lumpur (CLS) has announced its intention to file a police report regarding a sexual joke made by Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said, which also contained a false reference to the Bible. The society criticized the remarks for demeaning the clergy in a lewd and disrespectful manner, potentially violating laws related to sedition and religious offenses.
The joke, which was told during the Umno general assembly, involved a priest and a nun, with Noorazli attributing a punchline to Psalm 129, a chapter that does not contain such content. The CLS emphasized that the fabricated attribution constitutes a distortion of sacred scripture and caused offense to the Catholic community and the wider Christian faith.
