The Umno roadshow which ended last night proves that ties between Noh Omar, Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo and senator Ezam Mohamad Nor remain strong.

Selangor Umno deputy liaison chairperson Noh, Sungai Panjang state assemblyperson Khir and Ezam shared the same stage at the 'Save Selangor Darul Ehsan' roadshow at Kg Jalan Kebun in Klang.

azlanThe agriculture and agro-based industry minister and former Selangor menteri besar Khir said they had no problem with each other as they were from the same kampung.

They said that talk that they did not see eye-to-eye was only an opposition ploy to create friction between them.

Ezam said he had been close to Noh and Khir since he was political secretary to former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim, who was sacked by then prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

"They can't divide us nor weaken our spirit," he said in front of over 300 supporters of BN component parties.

Ezam said Noh and Khir were among Umno leaders who persuaded him to rejoin the party after he quit PKR.

A news portal reported that Noh, Khir and Ezam, who were charged with recapturing Selangor, were lining up as candidates for menteri besar should BN win the state in the next general election.

Noh rubbished the report, saying that they shared the same struggle and objective, and added that these were only lies spread by the opposition.
