- Sabah BN joined calls for Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said to apologise over his remarks at the party’s annual general meeting referencing a Catholic priest and a nun.

Labelling the remarks as “highly inappropriate and excessive,” its chairperson Arthur Joseph Kurup said Noorazli’s “excuse that it was merely a ‘joke’” should not be used to ignore sensitivities.
