The DAP leadership has denied that it asked for the deputy prime minister's post, but said it never denounced a non-Malay's right to hold the office, the party's assistant national publicity secretary Teo Nie Ching clarified today.

Teo was responding to MCA publicity chief Chai Kim Sen, who claimed that DAP parliamentary leader Lim Kit Siang's denial that the party had asked for the DPM post meant that it has abandoned its stand that all Malaysians have a right to sit in the office.

"Chai needs to be sent to logic class so that he can understand what Lim said properly," Teo said in a statement today.
