Ahmad Ismail was cleared of bankruptcy by the Insolvency Department in 2006. Ahmad Ismail is the figure linked to the controversial PORR project in Penang. He is the director of Peninsular Metroworks Sdn. Bhd., the concessionaire for the project.
Ahmad is an influential Umno divisional leader and former Penang Chief Minister Koh Tsu Koon was beholden to him for support. That was why Koh was powerless when Ahmad Ismail a mere Umno division leader could wield so much influence over him and accused him of not paying attention to the Malays in Penang.
The CM's former constituency of Tanjong Bungah happens to be in the Bukit Bendera division.

Kenapa Ahmad tidak di kenakan tindakan
Gerakan 'lafaz cerai' dengan Umno P.Pinang serta merta

Anwar mungkin di tahan ESOK !!!
Suarakeadilan | PAKATAN Rakyat menghadapi ujian paling getir di era kebangkitan rakyat apabila Ketua Pembangkang Anwar Ibrahim dihadapkan mahkamah pada 10 September bagi menghadapi dakwaan liwat.
Dengan tarikh tamat 16 September sekadar mengira hari, kerajaan BN dijangka akan mengembelingkan segala kekuatan berbaki dalam perbicaraan ini bagi menyekat kemaraan Pakatan Rakyat ke Putrajaya.
Anwar,61, dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Sesyen Jalan Duta 6 Ogos lalu untuk menghadapi bentuk tuduhan liwat dibawah Seksyen 337B Kanun Keseksaan, pertuduhan yang asma dihadapinya 10 tahun lalu.
Anwar mengaku tidak bersalah apabila pertuduhan meliwat Saiful Bukhari Azlan dibacakan Hakim S.M Komathy Suppiah dan dibebaskan dengan jaminan bon peribadi RM20,000 tanpa penjamin.... selanjutnya.
no2umno - Satu lagi kaedah untuk gagalkan 16 september
Hari Reformasi, the day of a new dawn
malaysiatoday | ....
Umno says there is no way Anwar can form the government on 16 September 2008, which is Malaysia Day. Never mind, they will all come home on 20 September 2008. If Anwar misses the 16 September 2008 deadline because the Members of Parliament and the Agong have all been sent away, there is still 20 September 2008. On 20 September 2008, everyone, the Agong included, will be home to see the new government being formed.
In fact, 20 September 2008 may be a better day than 16 September 2008. 20 September is Reformasi Day. 20 September is the day, in 1998, when the Reformasi Movement was born. 20 September was the day they arrested Anwar and kept him in jail for six years. 20 September was the day Malaysians decided enough is enough and a change is necessary. 20 September was the day that saw the beginning of the end for Umno and Barisan Nasional. So what more apt day to choose to form the new government than on 20 September 2008, Reformasi Day?
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been persuaded to rejoin Umno. Tun will rejoin Umno and will support Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in his bid to challenge Abdullah Badawi for the Umno Presidency. Umno is worried. They are worried that Malay political power will soon fall into the hands of the non-Malays. So they want the Malays to unite under a new Umno leadership so that the Malays can retain political power and the non-Malays will fail in their bid to wrest power from the Malays.... selanjutnya.
Ahmad stays his ground, says he was willing to face any action, including ISA, for remarks
NST | A DEFIANT Datuk Ahmad Ismail stood his ground, saying that he was willing to face any action, even if it was the Internal Security Act (ISA), after his meeting with BN and Umno president Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his deputy Datuk Seri Najib Razak today
.
The Bukit Bendera Umno division chief also said he would leave his fate to the BN Supreme Council which is in meeting to discuss action against him.

Police report lodged against Umno man for ‘shoot the reporter’ remark
Star | A police report has been lodged against state Umno liaison secretary Datuk Azhar Ibrahim for allegedly saying a reporter should be shot, at a press conference last Friday.
Komtar assemblyman Ng Wei Aik, who made the report at the Patani road police station on Tuesday, said it was very unbecoming of the Umno leader to have said, in Bahasa Malaysia, that if there was any racial tension, a certain reporter should be the first to be shot.
“This is criminal intimidation and such a threat should not have been uttered as reporters are only doing their job. Action should be taken against him under Section 506 of the Penal Code.
“I also handed over to the investigating officer a VCD of the press conference, which took place at the state Umno building in Macalister Road, with a video clip of the threat,” he said.... selanjutnya.

Ahmad turns to divide and rule
themalaysianinsider | The right thing for the police to do tonight is to lock up Datuk Ahmad Ismail and charge him with sedition when the courts open tomorrow morning.
The best thing for the rest of Malaysia to do is not take the bait of this bigot, chauvinist and scare-monger and start talking about May 13; them versus us; Chinese versus Malays and all the hate-filled garbage that was spewed out by the Bukit Bendera Umno division chief at a press conference in Penang today.
He had one aim in calling a press conference today – his second since he set off a political maelstrom by describing Malaysian Chinese as immigrants on the eve of the Permatang Pauh by-election. It was not to diffuse the racial tension as requested by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi but to incite more anger among the races and stoke the fire of resentment among Malays.
Emboldened because the prime minister and Umno president had not pulled him up and believing even this latest infraction would go unpunished, he set out to taunt the Chinese by telling them that they would never attain political power in the country.
For good measure, he then referred to the black mark of Malaysian history – May 13 1969 – warning anyone against provoking the Malays.... selanjutnya.
