The issue of reshuffling the cabinet was not raised during a meeting with Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad yesterday, according to Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.
The DAP secretary-general said the meeting was with ministers, and not Pakatan Harapan party leaders, to discuss government matters.
Lim also denied he submitted a list of potential candidates from DAP for ministerial positions to Mahathir.
"(If) you are referring to the meeting between Tun (Mahathir) and the ministers, it was related to government business.
"The matter (cabinet reshuffle) was not discussed," he told reporters in Putrajaya today.
Speculation has been rife that Mahathir met with Lim and Amanah president Mohamad Sabu to discuss the cabinet reshuffle.
Meanwhile, Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin, who was at the same event with Lim today, also dismissed the speculation of an imminent cabinet reshuffle.
Lim said there was never any discussion on a cabinet reshuffle before.
"Not only yesterday, but never raised in previous meetings," he said.
