He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a major party in the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.[1]

Early life

Noh was born on 23 February 1958 at Sungai Burong, Tanjung Karang, Selangor. He had his early education at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan Sungai Burong (1965), later Sekolah Menengah Aminuddin Baki (1977) and then Maktab Perguruan Temenggong Ibrahim. He continued his study later to Thames Valley University.

Noh is married to Prof. Dr. Aishah Salleh and the couple has one daughter; Nurul Syazwani.[2]

Political carreer

Noh was appointed to the federal Cabinet by Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi as Minister for Entrepreneur and Co-operative Development after winning the parliamentary constistuency of Tanjong Karang in the 2008 election.[3] On 10 April 2009, he was appointed as Minister for Agriculture and Agro-based Industry by Abdullah's successor, Prime Minister Najib Razak.[4] Najib dropped him from the Cabinet after the 2013 election even though he manage to retain his seat.[5] But he was reappointed to Cabinet as Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government on 27 June 2016.[6]

Controversies

In 2005, while as Deputy Minister for Internal Security, Noh made international news for his role in the Squatgate controversy concerning the alleged mistreatment of an ethnic Chinese woman by Malaysian police. In response to the revelation of mistreatment and protests by the Chinese government, Noh stated "if foreigners think that Malaysia police are brutal, please go back to their own countries and not to stay here".[7] Noh was reprimanded by Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi,[8] and Noh issued an apology for his comments that BBC News described as 'grudging at best'.[9]

In 2012, Noh Omar has been accused of conflict of interest and abusing his power as Minister for Agriculture and Agro-based Industry and Tanjong Karang Member of Parliament for entering a joint-venture to run a prawn farm in 2011 on his own 30-acre, about the size of 15 football fields land; Lot 26426, Bagan Tengkorak in Tanjong Karang which he had bought allegedly below market price only for RM100,000 after he became a Member of Parliament in 1995 and the land certificate of ownership was issued by the Selangor Land Ownership Registrar in September 2009, five months after Noh was appointed to his current cabinet position.[10][11][12][13] Under the 1 January 2011 agreement, Noh had given consent to Pristine Agrofood Sdn Bhd to operate the prawn farm on the land for 10 years for the guaranteed price of at least RM25,200 per year.[14] Revealed documents also showed that Noh inked a private caveat sought by Pristine Agrofood to not sell the land for 10 years, beginning 2011 to maintain the farm.[12][13][14][15]

Noh Omar was also questioned over the Programme of Peoples' Rice Subsidy Voucher or SUBUR (Malay: Baucer Subsidi Beras Untuk Rakyat) which should have manage the rice distribution for the needy peoples introduced when he was the Minister for Agriculture and Agro-based Industry.[11]
