Press Release

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang was shortlisted as Sikyong’s final candidate, causing huge controversy

Published

on

On March 21, the Tibet Exile Organization Committee formally announced the candidates for Sikyong, and the candidates will be formally voted for on April 11. Although the exile organization has not yet been officially recognized by any international organization, the election is still receiving media attention. The main reason was that many internal problems broke out in this election, such as corruption and factional struggles.

Sikyong is the head of the Tibetan exile organization. It is reported that the title was created in 2012. On April 26, 2017, Kashag’s internal circular announced that it would be translated as sikyong in English and became the leader of the Tibetan exile organization. The second and final round of elections will be held on April 11.

Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang ballots suspected of fraud caused huge controversy

During the election, a huge dispute broke out within the exile organization and many refugee sites regarding the nomination of candidates. However, the frequent scandals during the election made this exile organization even more embarrassing, and the campaign in the epidemic became full of farce and injustice. The biggest controversy is that one of the candidates, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, broke the ballot fraud during the election. According to local reports from the Campa people, Tibetans in exile conducted a public vote during the day. On the day of the vote, Dolma Gyari had a significant lead and had won. However, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang quickly caught up with the votes overnight, until February 8 when the ballot results were publicized and completely overtaken. The public results showed that Penpa Tsering won the first place with 24,488 votes, and Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang won. 14,544 votes. The former Minister of the Interior Dolma Gyari, who was already a big lead, was surpassed by 13,363 votes and lost the final qualification. This is also one of the biggest controversies. If the election cannot be kept fair, the election will be completely meaningless. Regarding the election of Sikyong, the issue of vote-falsification became confusing, and internal voices broke out huge opposition to Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s continued participation in the final election.

Like father, like son.

According to the public, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is the son of Jampa Kalden Aukatsang, the former director of the Security Bureau of the Tibet Exile Organization. The family’s worship of power seems to have not changed. Throughout the campaign, Kelsang Dorjee has been using his father’s story and biography, like His father is running for election. Kelsang Dorjee is 52 years old, but he has been shaping the image of young idols during the campaign. Electors who are more prominent than him have never shown the contribution of his own family to the government in exile and refugees. On the contrary, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang has repeatedly used his father’s deeds to increase his influence. This move has aroused dissatisfaction among many voters.

In addition, the excessive political ambitions and desire for power swelled to the extent that they did not respect the Dalai Lama, which has something in common with his father’s image. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang is more inclined towards Lobsang Sangay, who has more power, and this seems to be more helpful to his campaign. Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang deleted the photo of the Dalai Lama in the important public sector Kashag after taking office in order to profit from the campaign, and replaced it with the photo of Lobsang Sangay, which once caused the exile organization and refugees huge dispute.

Indelible corruption

Power is always accompanied by corruption. It is these corrupt leaders who regard Tibetans in exile as tools for seeking money and political benefits for themselves. These actions have also caused dissatisfaction among Tibetans in exile, and even Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang’s Wikipedia introduction In, first talked about his corruption problem. Tibetans in exile may be more angry about how such a tainted person got so many votes. The number of Tibetans in the exile organization was originally very small, and even launched a joint investigation signed by more than 8,000 people in Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang, requesting an investigation into the truth of the corruption. In 2015, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang assisted Lobsang Sangay in embezzling US$1.5 million from the Tibet Foundation. The money was allegedly used to purchase unnecessary buildings. The method of transfer also caused great suspicion. It was recorded as a “loan receivable” from the account of the Tibet Foundation, but it was not recorded in the account of the Tibet Community Development Foundation, which should have received the funds. In other words, the funds they usually use for health and education projects are used to purchase property. The successor of Aukatsang, Penpa Tsering, discovered the changes in the transaction and the attempt and disclosed the information. As a result, he was immediately dismissed on the grounds of “lack of trust, poor performance and increasing disobedience”. The incident also made Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang famous for corruption.

Greater power will only lead to greater corruption. The huge controversy among Tibetans in exile in this election is also because the Tibetans in exile have seen this fact clearly, and they hope to choose one that can contribute to their community and development. Instead of finding someone like Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang who unintentionally fights for the welfare and future of Tibetans in exile, all he does is lies, manipulates, abuses his power, embezzles funds and wastes donations from Tibetans in exile.

Half a century after Tibetans went into exile, most Tibetans in exile are still struggling in settlements of exiles. The leadership of Tibetans in exile must still rely on charity, and more Tibetans in exile hope to find leaders who can lead them to plan for the future. This is not to find a protector of the Dalai Lama or an egoist who uses power for personal gain. Coincidentally, Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang and Lobsang Sangay recently confessed to using public funds to conduct campaigns during the exchange with Robert Destro, the special coordinator for Tibet. Their so-called political propaganda is actually recommending Kelsang Dorjee Aukatsang to young Tibetans. Such elections are disgusting and frustrating. After he was the director of the American Office of the Tibetan Exile Organization, nothing about Tibetans in exile and their settlements has changed. They are more empty political slogans, without substantive content or meaning.

If Dorjee Aukatsang wins the election in April, Tibetans in exile will face a greater disaster, not a natural disaster but a man-made one. Under the struggle for power, the real problems will be covered up and ignored, and they will be used and deceived by their leaders. Unrequited, submissive refugee status to take advantage of donations from unsuspecting donors; forced to survive on poor grants and donations

We hope that more Tibetans can see the call, sign a joint investigation of Dorjee Aukatsang, recover the donated funds, and seek the living conditions and welfare of Tibetans in exile.

Published

January 17, 2026

By

Uluwatu, Bali, 17th Jan 2026, — High above the white sands of Nyang Nyang Beach, a new collection of villas is quietly taking shape. Nyala Villas has unveiled ten wellness-focused residences in one of Bali’s most unspoilt coastal settings, offering a slower, more considered approach to both living and investment. Set within protected green surroundings, the villas sit on the cliffs overlooking the Indian Ocean, where the sound of the waves and open skies shape daily life. While Nyang Nyang feels remote, it remains closely connected to Uluwatu and Bali’s wider lifestyle and short stay rental market, which continues to attract wellness travellers, surfers, and long-stay international visitors. Each villa has been designed around wellbeing rather than excess. Sunrise yoga decks, hot and cold plunge pools, saunas, outdoor rain showers, and private rooftop terraces are integrated into every home. Developed in collaboration with Swatch Architects, the design blends modern lines with natural materials and subtle Moroccan influences, creating spaces that feel calm, grounded, and in tune with their surroundings.

While lifestyle is central, Nyala Villas has also been carefully structured from an investment perspective. Early buyers will receive a 12% guaranteed net income for the first three years, subject to the project’s terms and conditions, with projected rental returns estimated between 12% and 18% thereafter. As Bali’s tourism market continues to evolve, demand for high-quality, wellness- oriented accommodation remains strong, particularly in quieter coastal locations

Press Release

KBY Exchange Supports the Global Shift Toward Web3 Compliance Amid Rising Regulatory Standards

Published

6 hours ago

on

January 17, 2026

By

Singapore, January 16, 2026 — As global regulators intensify oversight of digital finance and Web3-based financial infrastructures, compliance has rapidly shifted from an optional safeguard to a fundamental requirement for long-term viability. Recent industry data indicates that a significant majority of centralized digital finance platforms worldwide have now implemented comprehensive identity verification and customer due diligence frameworks, marking a critical milestone in the maturation of the Web3 ecosystem.

Against this backdrop, KBY Exchange is positioning itself as an active advocate for compliant, transparent, and sustainable digital finance development, supporting a future where Web3 innovation and regulatory frameworks evolve together—rather than in opposition.

From Ideals to Infrastructure: A Defining Moment for Web3

For more than a decade, early Web3 development emphasized openness, decentralization, and permissionless access. However, as digital finance systems expanded into large-scale, cross-border financial infrastructure, regulators worldwide were compelled to respond to increasing risks related to financial crime, sanctions exposure, and misuse of digital payment networks.

The implementation of FATF-aligned guidelines, the global rollout of cross-border transaction traceability requirements in nearly 100 jurisdictions, and a wave of high-profile enforcement actions have reshaped industry expectations.

 Today, compliance is no longer a limitation—it is the gateway to participating in global digital finance markets.

KBY Exchange views this transition not as a constraint, but as a necessary evolution toward a mature, resilient Web3 financial infrastructure.

Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

KBY Exchange aligns its operational framework with internationally recognized standards for AML controls, customer identification, and sanctions screening, reflecting a broader shift across the digital finance industry toward accountability and risk discipline. Key pillars include:

  • Robust identity verification and customer due diligence
  • Continuous transaction monitoring with risk-based controls
  • Alignment with global regulatory principles governing Web3 financial service providers

By embedding compliance at the infrastructure level, KBY Exchange supports long-term platform stability while enhancing user confidence and institutional readiness.

Restoring Trust After Market Turbulence

Recent years have demonstrated the cost of weak governance across the broader digital finance landscape. Enforcement actions and platform failures have exposed the systemic risks created by inadequate compliance frameworks and poor internal controls.

In response, institutional participants and professional users are increasingly prioritizing platforms that demonstrate transparent operations, clear accountability structures, and strong risk management practices.

KBY Exchange recognizes that trust has become the scarcest asset in Web3. Compliance is not only a regulatory obligation—it is a core requirement for users seeking security, predictability, and sustainable participation in digital finance ecosystems.

Bridging Web3 Innovation and Global Standards

Rather than viewing regulation as an obstacle, KBY Exchange supports a cooperative model in which technology enhances compliance efficiency. Advances in automated identity verification, AI-driven risk monitoring, and secure data governance enable platforms to meet regulatory expectations without compromising user experience.

This approach reflects a growing industry consensus:

 sustainable Web3 growth depends on harmonizing innovation with global standards, not avoiding them.

A Shared Responsibility for the Industry’s Future

As jurisdictions worldwide move toward unified licensing frameworks and stricter enforcement for Web3 financial activities, platforms that fail to adapt face increasing operational and reputational risk.

KBY Exchange calls on industry participants to treat compliance not as a burden, but as a shared responsibility—one that strengthens market integrity, supports institutional participation, and accelerates mainstream adoption.

In a Web3 era defined by accountability, KBY Exchange stands for a future where trust, transparency, and compliance form the foundation of global digital finance.

Published

7 hours ago

on

January 17, 2026

By

United States, 17th Jan 2026 – Merto Software Solutions Ltd, also known as Merto Solutions, today announced a major strategic expansion of its services, strengthening its position as a leading UK software company specialising in custom software development, API integrations, Amazon SP-API integration, technology consulting, and intelligent business process automation for organisations pursuing scalable growth and SME digital transformation.

The expansion reflects rising demand from businesses across retail logistics, eCommerce, finance, healthcare, and professional services seeking to reduce operational costs, eliminate manual data entry, and achieve long-term scalable growth through better system integration and smarter automation.

“Modern businesses are no longer limited by market opportunity, they are limited by disconnected systems and inefficient processes,” said a spokesperson for Merto Software Solutions. “Our mission is to connect those systems, automate the work between them, and provide the strategic guidance that allows companies to grow with confidence.”

Solving the Core Problem of Disconnected Systems

Across nearly every industry Merto supports, leadership teams face the same challenge: fragmented software stacks. CRMs, ERPs, accounting platforms, eCommerce systems, warehouse tools, and legacy platforms operate in isolation, forcing teams into repetitive manual work.

Merto’s expanded API integration services transform these fragmented environments into a single, automated operating system for the business.

Using secure REST API integration, GraphQL integration, SOAP API integration, and bespoke API development, Merto connects platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, Xero, SAP, QuickBooks, WooCommerce, and custom legacy systems.

Typical client outcomes include:

  • 75 per cent reduction in manual work
  • 10x faster real-time data synchronisation
  • 99.9 per cent uptime reliability
  • Significant decreases in processing errors and administrative cost

These system integration services enable companies to move faster, operate more efficiently, and support long-term SME digital transformation.

Leadership in Amazon SP-API Integration and Amazon Automation

As part of its expansion, Merto Solutions is strengthening its position as a specialist provider of Amazon API integration and Amazon SP-API automation, serving Amazon sellers, vendors, freight partners, certifiers, and service providers.

Merto is a member of the Amazon Ads Partner Network and delivers advanced Amazon marketplace integration solutions including:

  • Amazon inventory sync
  • Amazon order automation
  • Amazon reports automation
  • Amazon FBA automation
  • Shopify Amazon integration and WooCommerce Amazon sync

Clients consistently achieve:

  • 90 per cent reduction in time spent on reporting
  • 99 per cent fewer order synchronisation errors
  • 40x faster fulfilment operations

Through secure permissions, resilient automation pipelines, and enterprise-grade infrastructure, Merto enables Amazon businesses to scale without adding headcount or increasing risk.

Technology Consulting That Prevents Costly Mistakes

Merto’s expanded technology consulting UK practice provides independent,

vendor-neutral technology advice to founders and leadership teams across the UK and internationally.

Services include:

  • Architecture review and software architecture planning
  • Systems integration roadmap design
  • Automation consulting and workflow automation strategy
  • Cost and ROI modelling
  • Risk assessment and mitigation
  • Scalable infrastructure planning
  • IT strategy for SMEs
  • 90-day delivery planning

Each engagement delivers clear, actionable reports that support confident decision-making and sustainable digital transformation.

Custom Software Development Built Around the Business

Alongside integration and consulting, custom software development UK remains central to Merto’s offering.

Merto builds bespoke software solutions, from MVP development to full enterprise software development, including custom web applications, mobile app development UK, SaaS platforms, and complex internal systems.

Rather than forcing companies to adapt to generic software, Merto creates solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing tools, automate workflows, and scale with the organisation’s growth.

This approach has delivered measurable success for clients including Scan Global Logistics, Hague Global, My Personalised Events, Pulp, Fitly, Stortmill Recycling, Langley Motors, and many others.

Practical AI Automation for Measurable Results

While not positioned as an AI product vendor, Merto integrates AI automation and AI agents for business where they produce clear operational benefits. These include intelligent support routing, automated data entry, reporting assistants, and AI-powered solutions governed by client business rules.

All AI deployments include strict guardrails, audit logs, and secure fallback mechanisms to ensure reliability and compliance.

Positioned for the Next Generation of Digital Operations

With this strategic expansion, Merto Software Solutions positions itself as a long-term integration partner and software consultancy in Windsor, UK, delivering bespoke integrations, eCommerce automation, and end-to-end digital transformation for growth-driven organisations.

“Merto exists to build the invisible infrastructure behind modern businesses,” the spokesperson added. “When systems connect properly and technology decisions are made with clarity, companies reduce costs, eliminate inefficiency, and unlock sustainable growth.”
