KUALA LUMPUR – Former Selangor Umno chief Tan Sri Noh Omar has revealed why he did not vote in favour of the motion tabled during the party’s recent general assembly seeking to disallow contests against the top two positions in the Barisan Nasional linchpin.
Confirming the matter in a Facebook post in the wee hours this morning, the party veteran said he had voted against the proposal as he was concerned about how the move would negatively impact democracy in the party.
He also expressed his worry over how youth voters might distance themselves from Umno if it fails to defend democratic rights, in light of allegations made by youth party leaders claiming they were dropped as speakers at its general assembly.
