Accepted Answer

Onn Hafiz Ghazi Did Not Receive a Formal Invitation to the KTM Komuter Selatan Launch

Johor caretaker Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi stated that he had not yet received a formal invitation from the Transport Ministry for the launch of the KTM Komuter Selatan service. He indicated that he learned of the invitation through media reports, which he described as a gesture that touched him given the Johor government's prior lack of formal invitations to several Transport Ministry programs within the state.
Details of the Invitation Emerged Through Media Reports

Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi conveyed that his awareness of the invitation to the KTM Komuter Selatan service launch came solely through media coverage. He specifically mentioned that the invitation was extended during the launch of Pakatan Harapan Negeri Sembilan’s election machinery, a detail he gleaned from news reports rather than through official channels.
Johor Government's Contributions to the Project

The Johor state government had made significant contributions towards the KTM Komuter Selatan initiative. These included RM700,000 allocated for beautification works and the wrapping of the KTM Komuter trains. Furthermore, the state government had agreed to provide essential feeder bus services at the involved stations, including shuttle services with estimated operating costs of RM86,000.
Past Instances of Uninvited State Government Participation

Onn Hafiz highlighted that the Johor government had not been formally invited to several previous programs organised by the Transport Ministry in Johor. This pattern included visits to the Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (CIQ) Complex and the ETS Segamat project. He also cited a Transport Ministry visit to the RTS Link project site on April 3, where, despite the attendance of several Johor DAP leaders, the state government reportedly received no invitation.
