Sepang Umno division chief Noorazli Said has claimed trial at the Kuala Lumpur Magistrate’s Court on a charge of allegedly making religiously sensitive remarks during the Umno general assembly last month.

The Umno leader purportedly made remarks hurting the feelings of Christians during his speech at the annual party event.

According to the charge sheet, Noorazli (above) was charged under Section 298 of the Penal Code for allegedly acting with deliberate intent to wound the religious feelings of a person.

Noorazli has pleaded not guilty when the charge was read before magistrate Nurul Izzah Hasan Basri.
