UPDATED 3PM Chua Soi Lek did not mince his words in his final party assembly as president, describing Pakatan Rakyat as the "grandmother and grandfather" of lies.

"While the 2013 general election was the mother of all general elections, the lies regarding the Bangladeshis (being able to vote) are the grandmother of all lies.

"This has become the most infamous lie propagated by (Pakatan leader) Anwar Ibrahim, while the claim of a deliberate blackout at counting centres is the grandfather of all lies propagated by DAP," said the outgoing MCA chief in his policy speech.

Chua lamented that the government was ineffective in countering such "lies" spread by the opposition and urged this be remedied.

"Every ministry should have a special unit entrusted to respond to lies and falsehood spread on the Internet," he said.

Also present at the opening of at the opening of the 60th MCA annual general assembly was Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Chua said MCA backed Najib's policy of subsidy rationalisation and the Goods and Service Tax so long as safety nets are implemented.

However, in tandem with this, Chua said the issue of corruption must also be tackled.

"There should not be an ostentatious display of the government splurging as if there were unlimited funds.

He also called on the government to see to it that its tenders are done openly and not based on a "know-who" basis.

"While the government has initiated efforts to keep corruption in check by giving more clout to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Malaysians expect more to be done," he said.

Likewise, he said even though the administration has initiated a crackdown on crime, the people are also expecting more.

"We look forward to a day when we can walk the streets and leave the house without fear of being robbed," he said.

MCA will be holding its election today to determine Chua's successor and the party's new leadership line-up.
