He continued his studies later until Thames Valley University.

In 2016, as Malaysian Minister of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government, he introduced a controversial initiative that would have enabled property developers to give out loans to buyers at an interest rate of 12 per cent with collateral and 18 per cent without collateral. Noh said that the move was intended to assist Malaysians who had been unable to get a full housing loan from banks or those who may only be given a partial housing loan. The proposal was lauded by the Malaysian Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association (Rehda) as it claimed that it helps developers who were finding it difficult to sell homes as more home buyers were being denied loans by banks. However, the proposal was met with fierce opposition, including from then colleague Second Finance Minister Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani who deemed the proposal illogical and unsustainable.

In the lead-up to the 2018 Malaysian general election, Noh was one of seven MPs from the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition named on electoral watchdog Bersih’s “Election Offenses Hall of Shame”. He was criticised for misusing resources from the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government (KPKT in Malay), which he is the minister of, to hold campaign events in Gombak. He has been giving out cash in an attempt to assist fellow BN candidate Abdul Rahim Kamarudin’s attempts to win the marginal constituency off Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali. This was slammed as “bribery” and an attempt to “unduly influence voters” by Bersih.

In 2005, as the Deputy Minister for Interior Security, Noh made international news for his part as a participant in the Squatgate controversy over the allegations of abuse against the Chinese woman of ethnic Chinese lady as a result of Malaysian police. In response to the allegations of the alleged mistreatment and protests of Chinese officials, Chinese administration, Noh stated “if foreigners think that Malaysia police are brutal, please go back to their own countries and not to stay here”. Noh was disqualified by the Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi, and Noh apologized for his remarks, which BBC News described as ‘grudging at most’.
