Amanah minta MB Selangor kaji peranan Noorazli di DUN Dengkil

Amanah has informed Selangor's Chief Minister Amirudin Shari that they are considering reviewing the appointment of Umno Sepang Deputy President Noorazli Said as the organizer of Dengkil DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri) following allegations of inciting religious sentiments during his speech at Umno 2026's Perhimpunan Agung on September 12th.

Abbas Azmi, the Communication Director for Amanah Selangor, emphasized that an individual who does not understand the diverse community in the state should not be involved in governance. He stated that Noorazli's comments were not to be taken lightly as they touched upon the sensitivities and traditions of other communities within our nation.

If such incidents are left unchecked, they could create an unhealthy environment in our multicultural and multi-religious society. Abbas had conveyed this concern to the Chief Minister and is confident that he will take appropriate action in light of the incident. Previously, media reported that Noorazli sparked controversy by jokingly portraying himself as a father and midwife while referencing Psalm 23 from the Bible during Umno's Perhimpunan Agung.

After facing criticism and subsequently apologizing, Noorazli explained that his analogy was not meant to denigrate any individual, belief, or religion. He was subsequently summoned to the Sessions Court on October 8th on charges of causing religious sentiments to be hurt during his speech at Umno 2026. Abbas, a Seri Serdang MP, also suggested that Pakatan Harapan (PH) should review its relationship with Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) in the wake of several controversies involving the party, including Noorazli's case.

He noted that the issue of Noorazli was one that PH should consider when reevaluating its ties with BN, alongside concerns surrounding Felda, Tabung Haji, and the unrest in Negeri Sembilan involving Umno-BN leaders. He concluded by expressing his belief that Malaysian Malays find it difficult to accept the current state of affairs.
