Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and DAP leaders have clapped back at caretaker Johor menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi's remarks that he would rather not hold office than sit at the same table as the party.

In a speech at the Communications Ministry today, Anwar - without naming Onn - quipped that the latter had no issue sitting next to Johor DAP chief Teo Nie Ching, who is also the deputy communications minister.
