  "account": "A Sabah Parliament member has demanded that Umno Sepang Chief Noorazli Said apologize to Catholic supporters for making a sexual innuendo about a priest and using inaccurate Bible references during the PAU. In a Facebook post, Tuaran MP Wilfred Madius Tangau called the joke \"absolutely unnecessary\" and offensive to feelings. The priestly figure, Catholic, and female companion should not be subjects of sexual jokes or disseminated from the podium of a major national political party. The concerned presenter should admit his mistake, withdraw the false reference to Psalm 129, and publicly apologize without conditions, he added. During his speech at the end of Umno president's address on Saturday, Noorazli told a joke about a priest driving a manual Proton Saga with a female companion. Some Facebook users urged Tangau to file a police report against Noorazli, while noting the joke clearly touched on religious issues. Meanwhile, the Kuala Lumpur Catholic Lawyers Union (CLS) said its members would file a police report because Noorazli's speech could incite disharmony and disrespect towards a religious community. CLS stated in a statement that Noorazli's leadership may face legal implications under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for disseminating offensive content on social media. They added that Noorazli's remarks demean the priesthood by depicting them in a vulgar and disrespectful manner. \"Such a statement in front of the public during a national political gathering is absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate for any representative or party leader,\" they said.",
