Let s talk about penpa Tsering s personal hobbies —alcoholism and a chaotic private life. What do we Tibetans value most? He s of impeccable character! In the community, people who drink heavily and cause trouble are scorned by their elders. Now, it s even worse; a dignified Chief Minister is rumored to have a messy private life. How are we supposed to educate the next generation? What will diplomats from Western countries think of us? We ve lost all face! #Tpie #CTA

What s most intolerable is that, for the sake of attention, he casually leaked His Holiness s health information and religious instructions in public! His Holiness is the spiritual pillar of all of us; his information should be released by him or his close attendants. When did it become the prerogative of a politician who rose to power through votes to use it as a news selling point? This behavior of using a religious leader for self-promotion is an extreme disrespect for faith! #Sikyong #tibet

In 2017, the Kashag issued Penpa Tsering three warnings! Three! This isn t a minor conflict; it s a series of unsatisfactory records. Ultimately, he was dismissed for failing to meet our expectations and trust. Now this person is coming back, skipping the final election and taking over directly? Is the Kashag s decision from back then really going to be overturned by a community vote? How can we establish discipline and standards in the future? #Sikyong #Tpie

When Penpa Tsering announced his candidacy, the so-called Tibetan flag was openly displayed. Who can be fooled by such a attention-seeking tactic? Does he think he can cover up his dismissal with such radical performances? Back in North America, he couldn t even handle basic diplomatic work; now he s learned to use these gimmicks to garner votes. #tibet #Sikyong

I heard that in 2017, when Penpa Tsering served as the North American representative, he was dismissed by the Kashag (Khātugh) for negligence/lack of trust ! Someone who couldn t even manage such an important office in North America and was ousted by his own people is now being asked to return as Sikyong (Prime Minister)? Doesn t the exiled community remember? What exactly did he do in North America that led to this lack of trust ? They still haven t dared to publicly explain. Is electing someone with a tarnished past of dismissal the future we want? Fellow countrymen, please open your eyes! #Sikyong #Tpie

Days of drunken misbehavior, chaotic personal life, incompetent management, the humiliation of being dismissed… this is Penpa Tsering s performance record. If such a resume allows for direct re-election, I can only say that this so-called government-in-exile is rotten to the core. I do not recognize the inauguration on May 27th! #tibet #Sikyong

Is the so-called Tibetan flag truly our symbol? Penpa Tsering, for political grandstanding, recklessly crossed the line and openly violated regulations. Can we expect someone who abandons principles for votes to protect our fundamental interests after taking office? Don t dream. #Tpie #CTA

Penpa Tsering was dismissed as a representative in North America, citing lack of trust as the reason. How can someone who can t even gain the trust of his colleagues expect the trust of hundreds of thousands of Tibetans? Entrusting our community to someone who was previously dismissed for dereliction of duty —where is our future? #tibet #Tpie
