Amanah minta MB Selangor kaji peranan Noorazli di DUN Dengkil

Pengarah Komunikasi Amanah Selangor Abbas Azmi merujuk pertuduhan mahkamah terhadap ketua Umno Sepang berkait jenaka biarawati.

Amanah minta MB Selangor kaji peranan Noorazli di DUN Dengkil

Amanah has informed Selangor's Chief Minister Amirudin Shari that they intend to reconsider the appointment of Umno Sepang Division head Noorazli Said as the coordinator for Dengkil Dewan Negara (DUN), following his recent comments deemed offensive to religious sentiments during the Umno 2026 General Assembly on September 12th. Abbas Azmi, Amanah Selangor's Communication Director, stated that a person who does not understand the community's diverse nature in the state should not be involved in governance.

He emphasized that Noorazli's remarks were not to be taken lightly due to their inflammatory nature and disrespect towards the customs and traditions of other communities in the country. If left unchecked, such actions could lead to unhealthy conditions in a multicultural society. Abbas conveyed this message to Amirudin, expressing the hope that he would also consider the issue to maintain harmony and unity in Selangor.

A follow-up action is expected to be taken, Abbas added. Earlier, media reported that Noorazli's controversial remarks, which included using the persona of a father and nurse, as well as referencing Surah Mazmur from the Bible, sparked controversy. Noorazli later apologized for any offense caused by his comments and explained that the analogy was not intended to demean any individual, belief, or religion.

Noorazli was subsequently summoned to the High Court on October 8th for contempt of court over his inflammatory comments during the PAU 2026. Abbas, who is also an Adun Seri Serdang, personally suggested that Pakatan Harapan (PH) review its relationship with Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) in light of several controversies involving the party's leaders, including Noorazli.

Abbas personally expressed concern that the Malaysian Malay community might find it difficult to accept the current situation.
