Noh Omar returns to Umno, drawn by anti-DAP stance
The former federal minister said the stance of Johor Umno and BN of not working with DAP persuaded him to rejoin the party
Former Umno Supreme Council member Noh Omar said if Umno and PAS joined forces, they could form a government without the help of other parties.
PETALING JAYA: Former federal minister and former Selangor Umno chief Noh Omar said he has returned to Umno’s fold, more than three years after the party sacked him.
The former Umno Supreme Council member said he rejoined the party under its Rumah Bangsa initiative, which opens its doors to anyone wishing to return to or join the party, Sinar Harian reported.
Noh said the principles upheld by Johor Umno and Barisan Nasional of namely not working with DAP had persuaded him to rejoin the party.
“I am confident, God willing, that in the next general election, Umno would hold on to the very same principle,” he was quoted as saying.
In March, Noh expressed his willingness to return to the party under the proposed Rumah Bangsa initiative, provided the party ended its cooperation with DAP.
Noh was sacked from Umno following a violation of party discipline during the 15th general election. In July 2024, he confirmed that he had joined Bersatu, and was appointed to the Bersatu Supreme Council in early 2025.
He resigned from the post last month following the sacking of 17 party leaders, including Hamzah Zainudin.
Tonight, Noh revealed that he decided to quit Bersatu as the party had ignored the principles and decisions of its Supreme Council.
He hoped that Umno would re-establish its alliance with PAS to unite the Malays in the country. “I believe that if Umno and PAS join forces, they can form the government without the help of other parties,” he said.
