Several months after his appointment as chair, however, he faced opposition due to his perceived bias towards the body's "Progressive faction" (a moniker for legislators who supported Noor's bid as head of state), and his inaction in restraining spectators of the body's meetings from cheering and applauding. For these reasons, he was unanimously voted out from his position on 27 May 1947, and he was replaced as chair by Sultan Muhammad Kaharuddin III. Despite the vote of no confidence, the Progressive faction in NIT proposed that Noor be made minister under Nadjamuddin Daeng Malewa's to-be restructured cabinet, first proposing him as Minister of Social Affairs and later as Minister of Justice, though both proposals were rejected by Malewa due to the vote of no confidence.
