Umno's Noorazli defends sincerity of apology over priest-nun analogy
KUALA LUMPUR: Sepang Umno chief Datuk Noorazli Said today hit back at DAP leaders who questioned the sincerity of his apology over a controversial priest-nun analogy at the 2026 Umno general assembly, saying only the individual concerned and God could know what was in a person’s heart.
KERALAM, September 15 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has taken a measured approach when it comes to dealing with differing opinions on cooperation with Umno within the Unity Government. As the Chairman of Pakatan Harapan (PH), Anwar emphasized the importance of maintaining government stability, stating that any overly aggressive actions could lead to detrimental consequences for the country.
Speaking at a press conference with Malaysian media in Calicut, India, following his working visit to the country, Anwar said that the stability of the government is paramount, and this was a view echoed by Umno as well.
Anwar went on to explain that while different perspectives were expressed by various political parties, including PH, these matters are common within a coalition and should not be viewed as a threat to government cooperation. He noted that while he listens to all concerns, he doesn't see any significant issues. Anwar compared political disputes to those experienced within households, suggesting that minor disagreements are expected, even among political allies.
The Prime Minister addressed questions about his stance on several issues raised during the 2026 Umno General Assembly (PAU) recently.
