'Chocolate' and 'big boss' were code words used to describe money and Guan Eng, court told

Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd executive director Datuk Zarul Ahmad Mohd Zulkifli, a key witness in Lim's corruption trial in the Penang undersea tunnel project, said that Lim told him to use a middleman.

"The money I wanted to give to Lim was part of the 10% cut from the profit of the project that would be awarded to Zarul Ahmad's company. The project was estimated at RM30mil." "Chocolate meant money," he said, adding that he also told Lim that the money would be ready for him. As Zarul Ahmad was driving towards Publika Hartamas, Gnanaraja, who sat at the back with Lim, presented a bag to Lim.

Zarul Ahmad said he gave RM3.3mil in total to Lim on the condition that his company was awarded the undersea tunnel and paired roads project, and Lim would continue to help ensure he got to execute the project and be paid quicker when claims were approved.
