Onn Hafiz Did Not Receive an Official Invitation for the Shuttle Selatan Event

Caretaker Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi stated that he had not yet received an official invitation for the Shuttle Selatan service launch event. This statement followed remarks by Transport Minister Anthony Loke, who had indicated a formal invitation would be extended to Onn Hafiz. The exchange occurred amidst public discussions regarding political cooperation and federal-state relations in Johor leading up to the state election.
Onn Hafiz's Claim of No Official Letter

Onn Hafiz expressed that while he was touched by the gesture, an official letter for the Shuttle Selatan event had not reached him. He also noted that previous transport-related visits by Anthony Loke to Johor had not included him or the relevant state executive council member. This sentiment was shared after attending the launch in Kulai.
Loke's Invitation and DAP's Stance

Transport Minister Anthony Loke, who is also the DAP secretary-general, had previously stated that a formal invitation letter would be sent to Onn Hafiz. Loke had also extended an invitation for Onn Hafiz to join him on the KTM Komuter Selatan journey from Kulai to Johor Baru. DAP's general stance, as conveyed by Loke, is that the party does not view any party as an adversary and remains open to collaboration.
Context of Public Exchanges

The meeting between Onn Hafiz and Anthony Loke at the Shuttle Selatan service launch in Kulai took place after a series of public statements concerning political cooperation and federal-state ties. These exchanges occurred as the Johor state election approached, with speculation about the dynamics between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), despite their partnership in the federal unity government. Onn Hafiz, who chairs Johor BN, had previously indicated an unwillingness to work with DAP in the Johor polls, even stating he would rather give up his menteri besar post than share a platform with them.
