The most common accusation, made famous by Wangsa Maju MP Wee Choo Keong, was that he had ‘underworld links’ and such figures held meetings at his office.

Adding to this are numerous tales on the Internet of how Liu allegedly allowed illegal massage parlours and entertainment outlets in the state to flourish.
