Selangor Umno to decide action over priest-nun analogy, says Azalina
PUTRAJAYA: Any action against a Selangor Umno delegate over a controversial priest-nun analogy at the 2026 Umno general assembly will be decided by the Selangor Umno liaison body, said Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
Selangor Umno will determine the appropriate response to a delegate's controversial priest-nun analogy during the 2026 Umno general assembly, according to Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. The Umno information chief stated that she did not believe the delegate had intended to offend anyone, but acknowledged that the religious analogy could have been inappropriate.
Azalina emphasized that political leaders should exercise caution when using religious figures or issues as analogies in speeches, as it may lead to misinterpretation and affect individuals of that religion.
