Lim Guan Eng has denied that DAP requested for the deputy prime minister post if the opposition wins the next general election.

The DAP secretary-general was responding to a Berita Harian report, which quoted an Antarapos article in which Dr Mahathir Mohamad was quoted as stating that DAP asked for the post.

The Antarapos article quoted the former premier, who is the chairperson of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), as telling an event at Yayasan Perdana last night that DAP never requested for the prime minister's post.
