PETALING JAYA: Mohd Ali Baharom, better known as Ali Tinju, is not the president of the Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans' Association (PVATM), and the group is threatening to take disciplinary action against him for damaging its reputation.

In a press statement on Saturday, PVATM said they were not associated with Ali Tinju's now-defunct Malay Armed Forces Veterans' Association (PVTM), and slammed Ali Tinju's "racist" actions.
