Umno division leader prepared to apologise over lewd ‘joke’
Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said also says the joke was an analogy and that he never meant to insult anyone.
Sepang Umno division leader Noorazli Said expressed readiness to apologize if his lewd "joke" about Catholic clergy offended the Christian community. In a Facebook post, he clarified that the intent behind the joke aimed to emphasize the importance of focus, perseverance, and wisdom in achieving goals. Noorazli emphasized that the joke was not intended to insult, belittle, or demean anyone or any religion.
However, he acknowledged that religious figures or references can be misconstrued and cause misunderstanding within Malaysia's diverse society. The incident taught Noorazli a valuable lesson to exercise more caution when using analogies in the future. Two Umno leaders and a Sabah MP had previously requested an apology from Noorazli.
Additionally, the Catholic Lawyers Society of Kuala Lumpur has announced its intention to file a police report regarding the matter.
