Ketua Umno Bahagian Bukit Bendera Datuk Ahmad Ismail menyifatkan bekas Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang yang juga Pemangku Presiden Gerakan, Tan Sri Koh Tsun Koon sebagai "pembohong besar".

Mat kata: "If Gerakan wants to leave BN, then let it go. Anway, having worked with (Gerakan acting president) Koh Tsu Koon for 18 years, all I can tell you is that he is a great liar!"

Kesanggupan Mat buat kerja yang tu yang ni (having worked) sehingga 18 tahun lamanya dengan si "pembohong besar" tentulah sesuatu yang di luar tabie. Manusia yang normal tidak mampu dan tidak sanggup berkerja dengan "pembohong besar" sehingga 18 tahun. Payah nak jumpa orang macam Mat ni. Tu yang kata luar tabie tu.

Sambil menghormati kekesalan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad bahawa hanya orang Melayu sahaja yang kena dan diambil tindakan oleh kerajaan pimpinan pengganti yang diangkatnya, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, saya tetap yakin Mat akan selamat dan tak kena apa-apa walaupun telah menerima jemputan hormat dari pihak polis untuk memberi keterangan.

Jawapan orang yang Mat labelkan sebagai "pembohong besar" dalam Malaysiakini 6/9/08:

Responding on this today, Koh - who is also former Penang chief minister - shot back at Ahmad, saying that the latter was “trying to settle a personal score” with him through this controversy.

The Gerakan leader disclosed there was bad blood between him and Ahmad since December 2006 when he refused to extend Ahmad’s councillor’s term at the Penang Municipal Council on the ground that the latter has exceeded the maximum four-year appointment term at the council.

“He insisted that he must be special (to get an extension of the term) but I put my foot down and refused to re-appoint him,” the ex-chief minster recollected on how their ties turned soured.

Ni apa pulak ni?!! Ahmad may be in more hot soup, katanya.

Daily Express (6/9/08): A Penang Development Corporation (PDC) representative lodged a report at the Bayan Lepas police station against a defunct company formerly under the directorship of Datuk Ahmad Ismail.

Reporters who went to the station as early as 11am waited for four hours for PDC legal adviser Zainon Abdul Rahman to come out from the station after making the report against Popular Profile Sdn Bhd.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng had on Tuesday said he had directed the report to be made over the company's failure to return some RM500,000 to the state after a botched land deal in 1998.

When Zainon finally came out at 3.20pm, she was swarmed by reporters and cameramen. She was seen rushing out of the station with a policewoman who accompanied her to her car.

Zainon told reporters she was lodging the report on the instruction of PDC Chairman Lim, saying the content of her report was "in today's newspaper".
