DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang never once approached UMNO to work with his party, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

"I don't know. He (Kit Siang) has not approached us. It's only his statement," the UMNO president said in replying to questions from reporters on Kit Siang's willingness to work with UMNO.

Najib was speaking at a press conference after chairing UMNO's Supreme Council meeting here Friday.

Earlier this week, the local media had reported Kit Siang as saying that the DAP was willing to work with Barisan Nasional component parties MCA, Gerakan and Najib, purportedly to "save Malaysia".
