He became the Managing Editor of the Hong Kong Standard under British rule in Hong Kong.[7]
Ali was also an international bureaucrat. He joined the United Nations and worked for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). During the 1980s, Ali and fellow UNESCO colleague Mahfuz Anam conceived the creation of a newspaper in their native country of Bangladesh.[8]
Ali and Anam founded The Daily Star in Bangladesh during the transition from presidential government to parliamentary democracy in 1991. The period also law liberal economic reforms. The newspaper became influential for its editorials which touched on sensitive political topics. The newspaper emerged as the country's largest circulated English-language daily.
