Rumours that Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halim will be dropped as a candidate in the upcoming Melaka State Election (PRN) have been dismissed as untrue.

An Umno source rejected the speculation, saying Mohd Noor Helmy, better known on social media as Dak Mat or Helmy Duyong, is expected to defend the seat he currently holds.

“The news claiming that Mohd Noor Helmy will be dropped is not true. As of now, there have been no changes regarding the seat he will contest,” the source told TRP when contacted, implying that Mohd Noor Helmy would be allowed to defend his Duyong state seat.
