anyone from MN have the inside scoop or have any additional information?  the ED's termination must be motivated by political reasons rather than work rekated, no?

[Reporter]

Would a political cartoon with caricatures demonstrate things better? Yeah, things like this:


Well, until our community can embrace humor, I won't ask the artist to draw anything on this situation--even when he's protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution--freedom of speech.

I did post once before that the organization should give the ED time to peaceably resign rather than a forced termination. But it doesn't sound like they have come on PH for my comments.

From what I know and understanding is that the reason for his termination is more of personal revenge on the director because he was kind of favor the other elected president while they are trying to work things out... First of all, the director make the mistake of favoring the tou xiong even though the election is not finalized yet.  He should have stay out of the way and let all the election committee/candidates deal with the issues and not say or do anything while they are still in the tumoil process....you should not step on anyone's toe if you are an employee, especially if they will become your boss...

Mr Y.P. Lee also make a bigger mistake by terminating the director....it show that he is not a great leader because he does not have a big enough heart to let the stuff that the director have done go or overlook....  It appears to me that the termination is more of a personal revenge because the director wasn't siding with Mr YP Lee in the whole ordeal of the election problem.......

The whole issue is just pretty stupid and embarrassing for the hmong community..... We are just being Hmong stupid hmong.....

Who is Mr. Y.P. Lee?

[Toumeng]

I'm sure personal revenge is part of the reason for his termination.  

I don't think Mr. Y. P Lee is solely responsible for the termination. I think it was voted by the Board of Directors.

I don't understand why Hmong people are still looking up to these corrupted so called leaders.  They are nothing but a bunch of losers.   Sorry, but that is how I feel.

I am ashamed to read of how corrupted the people behind MN Lao Family are.  They keep making news and it only shows how unstable their leadership qualities are.  The whole organization needs to go down the drain.  They are bunch of dogs eat dogs at that organziation.  Everyone is stepping on everyone's toes to get to the top and are neglecting the community which they should serve better. 

The community does not need MN Lao Family.  Or, do we and why?   

I have actually thought much about why these leaders are like this and if we need the Lao Family at all. I say we need the Lao Family to be there so that there will be jobs for some people. I'd rather see people working than be unemployed. I haven't figure out yet why these leaders are like this. It will take me some times, so be patient with me. I'm suspecting that it may be because of past practices in Laos carried over. But I'm not too sure yet.

[Ghostly]

Right.

Who is Mr. Y.P. Lee?

Oops, my bad....Chue Pheng Lee...my brain was not working right and thinking he is ywj Pheej Lee....

It was a board decision for his termination but the question is who is the President? Mr Lee.....

Do we need Lao Family you asked and the answer is "NO".... but we do need an organization to host event such as the New Year or 4th of July etc....  We have Yang Wameng in Minneapolis and/or many organizations in the twin cities which  could host any events....so No we don't need Lao Family......

I know some people that has volunteered to run these events for the last 20 years and never give up.... I think we need young blood with new ideas and vision to step in.....

I have never asked if we need Lao Family. Arcane asked that question and I gave her an answer.

Sure, any organization can hold the two big events in this state.

I've been told that Lao Family was originally Hmong Association a long, long time ago. VP had the Hmong group turn itself into Lao Family.  Maybe it's time to turn it back to  Hmong Association?

[Drift1Leeg]

its not only Hmong fighting over Hmong..just think about those crack head in DC...they are doing the same thing.  If you don't like how it is run, why not run for office and change it to your liking.

It's easier to whine than to be involved.
