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

Chippendale, NSW, Australia, 23rd May 2026 — Chippendale Carshare has announced a major expansion of its vehicle rental operations, growing to 90 vehicles across Chippendale, Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport, supported by increasing demand through Turo and its own online booking platform.
Chippendale Carshare has confirmed a significant growth milestone, expanding its fleet to 90 vehicles and strengthening its presence across three key pickup locations: Chippendale, Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport.
The expansion reflects growing demand for flexible, affordable and convenient car rental options in Sydney and Melbourne, particularly among airport travellers, business users, local residents, families, students, and customers seeking short-term or longer-term vehicle hire.
Customers can now browse available vehicles and make a booking online through the company’s booking platform at https://chippocarshare.com.au/booking.
Turo Helped Support Chippendale Carshare’s Growth
Chippendale Carshare says Turo has played an important role in supporting the company’s expansion from a smaller Sydney-based fleet into a 90-vehicle operation across two major Australian cities.
By allowing hosts to list vehicles online and connect with guests looking for flexible car rental alternatives, Turo helped Chippendale Carshare reach a wider customer base, improve vehicle utilisation, and scale its operations beyond a traditional single-location rental model.
The company’s growth has been supported by demand from Turo guests seeking accessible vehicles for airport travel, weekend trips, business use, family transport, moving needs, and longer rental periods.
Alexander Munao, founder of Chippendale Carshare, said Turo was an important part of the company’s growth story.
“Turo helped us prove that customers wanted a more flexible way to access rental vehicles,” Munao said.
“It gave us the ability to reach more travellers and local customers, test demand across different vehicle types, and build the systems needed to manage a larger fleet.”
“That demand has helped Chippendale Carshare grow to 90 vehicles and expand into Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport, while still continuing to serve our original Chippendale location.”
90 Vehicles Across Sydney and Melbourne
The 90-vehicle milestone represents a major step in Chippendale Carshare’s continued development from a local Sydney car rental operator into a multi-location vehicle rental network servicing both New South Wales and Victoria.
The company’s expanded fleet includes a wide range of vehicles suited to different customer needs, including economy cars, compact hatchbacks, SUVs, 7-seat vehicles, vans, people movers and practical everyday rental vehicles.
By operating across Chippendale, Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport, Chippendale Carshare is now positioned to support customers looking for:
- Sydney car rental near the CBD
- Sydney Airport car rental
- Melbourne Airport car rental
- Chippendale car rental
- Affordable airport car hire
- Long-term car rental
- Van hire and people mover rental
- Flexible short-term vehicle hire
Airport Expansion Driven by Customer Demand
The addition of Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport locations has been introduced to support increasing demand from travellers who want a simpler, more flexible way to access rental vehicles close to major transport hubs.
Chippendale Carshare’s original Chippendale location continues to service inner-city Sydney customers, including those near Central Station, Broadway, Redfern, Ultimo, Surry Hills and surrounding suburbs.
The Sydney Airport location provides access for customers arriving into or departing from Sydney, while the Melbourne Airport location marks an important step in the company’s Victorian expansion.
“Customers are increasingly looking for flexibility,” Munao said.
“Some people need a small economy car for a few days, others need a van, SUV, people mover or long-term vehicle. Growing to 90 vehicles gives us more ability to match customers with the right car for the right trip.”
A More Flexible Approach to Car Rental
Chippendale Carshare has built its service around online booking, practical vehicle options and convenient pickup locations. The company says its model is designed for customers who want a straightforward alternative to traditional car rental, with the ability to compare vehicles and book online before arrival.
Turo helped accelerate this model by giving Chippendale Carshare access to a large marketplace of guests seeking flexible vehicle access. This helped the company understand customer demand, expand its fleet mix, and improve operational processes across cleaning, maintenance, pricing, vehicle availability and customer support.
The expanded network is expected to support a broad range of use cases, including weekend trips, interstate travel, airport arrivals, business transport, temporary replacement vehicles, moving vans, family holidays and longer-term rental requirements.
Chippendale, Sydney Airport and Melbourne Airport
The company’s three-location footprint allows Chippendale Carshare to service both city-based and airport-based rental demand.
The Chippendale location remains central to the company’s Sydney operations, offering convenient access for customers near the Sydney CBD and inner-city suburbs.
The Sydney Airport location supports travellers looking for car rental near Sydney Airport, while the Melbourne Airport location provides access for customers looking for car rental near Melbourne Airport and Tullamarine.
Chippendale Carshare says it will continue investing in fleet availability, operational systems and customer experience as demand grows across both cities.
Book a Vehicle Online
Customers looking for car rental in Sydney, Sydney Airport, Melbourne Airport or Chippendale can view available vehicles and make a booking through the official Chippendale Carshare booking page:

General Compute has opened its production inference cluster to developers building agent applications, running SambaNova SN40 and SN50 dataflow silicon that posts the fastest independently benchmarked speeds on the MiniMax M2.7 model family.
San Francisco, California, United States, 22nd May 2026 – General Compute today announced the general availability of General Compute Cloud, the first ASIC-native neocloud purpose-built for the next generation of autonomous AI development tools. Where existing neoclouds rack incumbent GPUs, General Compute has designed its serving stack around its inference-optimized ASICs.
Unlike traditional cloud platforms designed around human operators clicking through dashboards, General Compute Cloud is also the first major cloud to treat AI agents as first-class users. Coding agents can complete the entire onboarding flow themselves, creating an account, claiming the launch credit, and retrieving a working API key, without requiring a developer to step in. The result: a developer can ask their AI agent to “switch its inference to General Compute,” and minutes later be looking at running infrastructure they never had to provision by hand.
Agentic workloads issue dozens or hundreds of model calls per task, which means even small per-token gains compound into dramatic differences in developer experience and unit economics. By optimizing the silicon, runtime, and API surface for inference rather than retrofitting general-purpose accelerators, General Compute aims to push down both first-token latency and sustained token throughput on the open and frontier models developers use most.
Agent-native signup is supported out of the box. When invoked through OpenCode, OpenClaw, or any compatible client, the agent can complete account creation, verify the workspace, claim launch credit, and return a scoped API key back to the developer’s environment — turning what was historically a multi-step onboarding into a single natural-language instruction.
“Our goal is simple: we want General Compute to be the fastest inference provider on the market, and we want to ship the fastest inference API any developer or AI agent can call,” said Jason Goodison, CTO and co-founder of General Compute. “Optimizing the silicon is how we get there. The $200 in launch credit is our way of inviting builders, and their agents, to put us up against anyone else and see the numbers for themselves.”
General Compute Cloud is available immediately to customers globally at generalcompute.com. The launch credit is automatically applied to new accounts created between May 20 and May 27, 2026. OpenCode and OpenClaw users can begin a General Compute session directly from within their agent by asking it to “sign me up for GeneralCompute.com”
About General Compute
General Compute is the first ASIC-native neocloud, building custom inference silicon and the cloud platform that runs on it. The company’s stated goal is to operate the fastest inference provider and the fastest inference API for AI agents and the developers who deploy them. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in San Francisco, General Compute is backed by leading technology investors. Learn more at generalcompute.com.
