PETALING JAYA: Noh Omar has announced his resignation as a Bersatu Supreme Council member following the sacking of 17 party leaders, including Hamzah Zainudin.
In a video, Noh expressed disappointment that the party’s disciplinary board proceeded with action against the leaders despite a Jan 12 Supreme Council meeting deciding to suspend all disciplinary measures against those concerned.
“As the disciplinary board has ignored the decision of the Supreme Council, I hereby tender my resignation as a member of the council,” he said.
He also thanked party president Muhyiddin Yassin for appointing him to the council, but added that “there is no point in being a Supreme Council member if the council’s decisions are not respected by the disciplinary board and other party members”.
Noh, a former Selangor Umno chief, was appointed to the Bersatu Supreme Council alongside Danni Rais, the son of former Senate president Rais Yatim, early last year.
