Kuching archbishop urges Malaysians to reject divisive rhetoric on Malaysia Day
Kuching Archbishop Simon Poh, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Malaysia, called on Malaysians to reject political and religious rhetoric that divides society. He was responding to a viral video of Sepang Umno chief Noorazli Said making an inappropriate joke about priests and nuns at the Umno general assembly. The statement followed the National Catholic Pastoral Convention held in Sibu, Sarawak, from Sept 9 to 13.
