Ali Tinju first became famous for organising the infamous “butt exercise” protest outside former Bar Council chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan‘s house. In the recent Low Yat Plaza incident, Ali Tinju seized upon the false story that the suspects were cheated by greedy, unscrupulous Chinese traders to organise a rally to “defend Malay honour” at Low Yat Plaza.
