Dr. Mahathir memberi reaksi kemasukan semula Ezam Mohd Nor kedalam UMNO seperti yang dilaporkan oleh The Star Online dengan cara berikut :- Dr M: I’m out, he’s (Ezam) in "Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was his usual sarcastic self when commenting on former PKR Youth leader Ezam Mohd Nor rejoining Umno. “Saya keluar, dia masuk. Baguslah dia sayang Umno (I leave and he is back in. Good that he loves Umno),” he quipped. The former premier and party president was asked to comment yesterday on Ezam's move to rejoin Umno this week although he had left the party to help set up what was then known as Parti Keadilan. Ezam, who was once Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s political secretary, followed Anwar out of Umno in 1998 after the former deputy prime minister was sacked. He was also detained under the Internal Security Act for his role in the reformasi movement." Perkembangan terbaru kemasukan semula Ezam perlu diteliti secara mendalam.
