Noh Alam Shah as one of the best forwards in south East Asia, Alam Shah was a member of the Singapore national football when it won the ASEAN football championship (formerly known as the 'Tiger Cup') in 2005 and 2007. At the 2007 competition, he was the top individual scorer and was named the 'Most Valuable Player' of the tournament. At club level, he was a member of the tampines rovers team which won Singapore's s.league in 2004 and 2005.

In a 2007 ASEAN Football Championship group stage match between Singapore and Laos, Alam Shah scored 7 goals in an 11-0 win for Singapore. This was not only a record win for the Singapore national team, but also a record number of goals scored by an individual player in an 'A' international game for Singapore. Singapore went on to win the championship, and Alam Shah received the 'Most Valuable Player' award for his impressive displays in the tournament.

Noh Alam Shah joined Tampines Rovers He helped the Stags win the S.League title in 2004 and 2005. In 2007, he scored a late goal against Liaoning Guangyuan to become the first player to score 100 goals for the club. The tally came from 88 goals in the league and 12 goals in the domestic cup competitions.

Bullish and enthusiastic, Alam Shah is perhaps best remembered for his dramatic late equaliser against Kuwait in a World Cup qualifier in 2001.

With his swashbuckling style and never-say-die commitment upfront, he is a firm favourite with the fans despite a volatile temper that has gotten the better of him numerous times in the past.

The Tampines Rovers striker has worked hard to keep his temper in check though, and has put a past full of foibles behind him as well, winning an S.League title with the Stags in 2004.

In 2005, Alam Shah went to first, Notts County and later, Skonto Riga for trials but unfortunately the deal fell through.
