[5] At the time of his installation, Tinal was one of the youngest regents in Indonesia, assuming the office at an age slightly above the legal threshold of thirty years old.

[6] Tinal and his deputy, Methodius Mamapuku, were criticized by political researcher Ans Gregory da Iry for their lack of experience in bureaucracy.

[8] Although a peace treaty between the two factions was signed in November 2003, there were threats to kidnap members of the Mimika parliament by both sides.

[5] The seven seats were finally filled on 29 December 2006 as a result of an agreement mediated by Governor of Papua Barnabas Suebu.

Tinal's body was flown by a chartered flight from Jakarta to the capital of Papua, Jayapura, a day after his death.

The Spokesperson for the Governor of Papua stated that the stoning was not an act of violence but was part of a tradition by Tinal's tribe.

[36] After a day lying in state in Jayapura, Tinal's body was transported to Mimika and arrived at Timika's Mozes Kilangin Airport on the afternoon of 23 May.

[38] After the requiem commenced, his body was brought to his family's cemetery complex to be buried beside his parents grave in Timika.

The funeral ceremony began at 14.00 local time and was led by the incumbent Regent of Mimika Eltinus Omaleng.
