Gerakan Merah leader Mohd Ali Baharom, better known as Ali Tinju, said he plans to invite Bersih chief Maria Chin Abdullah to speak at his Nov 13 forum on street rallies.

Ali said he would even abandon his planned 'butt exercise' in front of her house if she attends the forum.

"I promise to Maria, if she attends the forum... I, Ali Tinju will not do anything.

"But if she fails to do so... Then until Nov 19, we will meet her, wherever it may be," Ali told Malaysiakini, referring to the date of the Bersih 5 rally.
