REF: A. CANBERRA 779

B. DILI 254

Classified By: DCM DAVID R. BURNETT, FOR REASONS 1.4 (b) and (d)

1. (C) GNZ officials are deciding what support New Zealand will provide to E. Timor now that the Timorese government has officially asked for help. In the morning of May 25, NZ Defense Force (NZDF) Assistant Chief for Strategic Commitments and Intelligence, Brigadier Warren Whiting, told DATT and Pol-Econ Chief that NZ's Defense Attache and Ambassador to Dili were joining Australia's high-level delegation to discuss command and control, tasks, and terms of engagement with GOT. GNZ officials are meeting regularly throughout the day, and Foreign Minister Peters, Defense Minister Goff, CDF Mataparae, New Zealand's Deputy High Commissioner and Defense Attache in Canberra are all also in close contact with their Australian counterparts. GNZ was also anticipating a statement from the UN Security Council later today.

2. (C) Whiting, who was joined by Col. Mike Thompson, Director of Strategic Commitments, said that the Timorese had been far more specific about what they wanted from the Australians and the Portuguese than from New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore. He said that the UN rep in Timor had recommended mostly police intervention, and Portugal was sending about 125 gendarmes. But Australian officials think this is more of a military than police operation, and GNZ agrees. Whiting said that in any case, Australia and New Zealand do not have para-military forces.

3. (C) Whiting and Thompson said that NZ has two C-130s on stand-by that can be moved immediately as needed to help transport NZ and/or Australian troops. They said that GNZ assumes the situation has moved from an evacuation of noncombatants (NEO) to a military operation. GNZ has also upgraded its travel advisory for E. Timor, although there are no Kiwi tourists known to be there, nor does the NZ Embassy in Dili have many dependents. There are about 40-49 New Zealanders in the country, but as they are more or less embedded -- for example doing NGO work -- they are apparently in no hurry to leave.

4. (C) As far as GNZ can tell, there appears to be no threat to foreigners in E. Timor. Much of Dili appears to be operating as normal and although there have been fire fights between groups, they have not been widespread. There is no risk getting to the airport, and commercial flights are still available. GNZ is concerned, however, that foreigners could end up being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

5. (C) GNZ has offered to assist Singapore and other "approved" foreign nationals in Dili, including allowing them to assemble at the NZ Embassy if needed. McCormick

Poor but rich Timor-Leste

By M. VEERA PANDIYAN
veera@thestar.com.my


Asia’s newest independent state which has only recently emerged from conflict is slowly but surely rising from the ashes.

One could describe Timor-Leste, Asia’s newest nation, as a poor little rich country.

In terms of per capita oil reserves – one million people with 800 million barrels of oil and 12 trillion cubic feet of natural gas – Timor-Leste is indeed affluent.

That’s just the wealth from oil. Its other natural resources include gold, manganese, marble, sandalwood and abundant fish in its territorial waters.

But more than 80 % of its people are very poor and half are illiterate.

They depend on subsistence farming in the hot, semi-arid land, eking out a living growing rice, coffee, corn, tapioca, sweet potatoes, soybeans, mangoes, bananas and vanilla.

However, Timor-Leste finally appears to be fairly stable politically after a long and traumatic struggle towards self-rule.

While it still remains in dire need of basic infrastructure development, the country of Timor-Leste has come a long way from the backward Portuguese colony that it once was, the Indonesian occupation and from some of the worst atrocities in modern times committed by militias following the 1999 referendum on independence from Indonesia.

Working together: Businessman Norman Burhan exchanging documents with a Timor- Leste Chamber of Commerce member during the signing of MoUs. Looking on are Mohd Ali (second left) and Ramos-Horta (third left).

Between the referendum and the arrival of UN peacekeeping force in September 1999, it was a reign of terror by heavily armed anti-independence militias.

Much of the country’s infrastructure, including main roads, bridges, administrative centres, water supply systems, schools and almost all of the electrical grid were destroyed in a merciless “scorched earth” campaign.

The militias killed some 1,400 people and forced about 300,000 others to flee to West Timor as refugees.

Timor-Leste’s independence was finally restored on May 20, 2002, with power handed over from the United Nations to the first constitutional government, but the country remained fragile.

In 2006, fighting between rival factions in the military, sparked by the sacking of 600 soldiers, killed 37 people and drove 150,000 from their homes. A year later, there were riots in the streets of Timor-Leste’s seaside capital of Dili after elections led to a five-party coalition government.

On Feb 11, 2008, President Jose Ramos-Horta was seriously injured in an assassination attempt and Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao was shot at in his car but was unhurt.

The president survived, has recovered fully and in August this year, pardoned the 24 men who were convicted on charges relating to the supposed double assassination attempt targeting himself and Gusmao.

The men, mostly ex-soldiers led by Gustao Salsinha, had been sentenced to between nine and 16 years’ jail, but only served less than six months. In forgiving them – Ramos-Horta, who along with Gusmao are now guarded by Malaysian police serving under the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) – said: “Timorese should let the past be the past and look ahead with confidence.”

That gesture by the iconic leader and 1996 Nobel Peace Prize winner has helped further stabilise the country.

But the big investors, other than those in the oil and gas industry, don’t seem confident enough to explore the huge potential for profits. The biggest investment mission so far was an 87-member Malacca state government-led delegation which arrived last week.

“This is certainly the largest group of people I have received, other than a visit from a 4,000-strong United States’ Marine Corps,” he joked when the delegation, comprising Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, senior state officials and prominent business leaders, called on him.

Malaysia and Malacca are certainly dear to him. He has visited Malaysia “on countless times”.

Malacca, also a former Portuguese colony, has been forging closer links with Timor-Leste over the past few years through Mohd Ali’s special representative, Joseph Sta Maria, a businessman of Malacca Portuguese descent.

The semi-autonomous Oecussi enclave in the northwest portion located in Indonesian Nusa Tenggara Timur was where 18 men and 62 women from the group of Portuguese, who had captured Malacca in 1511, moved on and set up a settlement on the island of Timor.

Ramos-Horta expressed gratitude to Malaysia and former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for the tremendous support given to Timor-Leste in every aspect from the start of the country’s birth.

“In 2006, when we had a crisis, I called the then Foreign Minister (Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi). Within a matter of hours, a political decision was made and within a week, a force was deployed to keep the peace.”

“Even many developed countries could not do this in such a fast manner,” he said.

Ramos-Horta said with peace and stability restored, the country was focused on development, using what he described as its “modest oil resources”. It is certainly not. The country’s specially instituted “Petroleum Fund”, into which Timor-Leste’s oil revenues are deposited now, holds US$5.8bil (RM18.1bil) while revenues from the yet-to-be exploited Greater Sunrise oil and gas field are expected to reach US$13bil (RM40.7bil) over the field’s 30-year lifespan.

The country’s immediate challenge is to build the much needed infrastructure for sustainable job growth and raise the standard of living for the population – almost half of which is now under the age of 15 – through education, human resource development and job creation. In spite of the global economic crisis, Timor-Leste experienced growth of over 10% in 2009.

“The economy has been good over the past three years and for many years to come, Timor-Leste will have between 7% and 8% of growth.

“There is no other way but to go up and forward. We need thousands of kilometres of roads; currently 80% of our roads are in absolute disrepair. We also need to build hundreds of bridges, ports, airports and communication systems,” Ramos-Horta added.

He urged Malaysian investors who had proven know-how in various fields, including oil and gas, construction and education, to take up the many opportunities available in the country and contribute towards its development.

“You can help transform our country. Malaysians can play a central role in the development of Timor-Leste. We have a very good relationship and you have proven to be great friends,” he said.

Ramos-Horta said Timor-Leste practised a totally open economy and its revised rate of taxes was the lowest in Asia after Hong Kong.

But he admitted that issues involving land and property remained unresolved and “confusing” in some cases. He drew laughter when he cited a case in which a piece had been “sold” to three different buyers.

The president said the issues were seriously looked into to bring about a better system.

Even before his assurance, members of the Malacca delegation had already identified prospective projects and businesses under joint ventures with key members of the fledgling Timor-Leste Chamber of Commerce.

A total of 17 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed during the three-day visit.

Tribunal rekomenda modelu kontabilizasaun ba reseitas hirak nee neebe bele fo kapasidade kontrole no justifikasaun diak liu tan, hodi tribunal mos bele analiza klean liu tan, tamba agora sira la konsege. Se sira la konsege entaun nee signifika katak parlamentu no povu mos la konsege. Ida nee ita lakoi atu kontinua iha futuru.

Tribunal rekomenda mos katak, presiza hari’i sistema hodi kontrola osan neebe tama iha conta bankaria ka rekening estadu nian, hodi bele garante katak kobransa reseitas lao los. Nee buat ida neebe povu barak mos husu, kresimentu ekonomiku dehan Xina deit iha mundu mak bot liu ita, maibe osan reseitas estadu nian la aumenta bot hanesan ekonomia. Nee tamba ita tenke kestiona sistema kobransa ba reseitas mos, tamba ita hotu hatene katak KKN nee mos impostu informal neebe la mosu iha kontas jeral estadu nian. Pagamentus ilegal agora hanesan impostu ilegal mak barak. Nee povu mak lakon mos dalan ida tan.

No governu hatudu nia indisiplina kona ba reseitas mos. Desde uluk bainhira debate orsamentu jeral estadu tintinan mak bankada FRETILIN eziji detalhus barak tan kona ba reseitas, no tamba sa mak estimiativas hanesan aprezenta.

Maske governu lakoi hatan, sei halo aan tanba hanesan baibain bankada FRETILIN mak eziji ne’e biasa lagui lama, maybe agora Tribunal Rekursu mos kestiona.

Tribunal Rekursu dehan katak presiza iha rigor ka disiplina makaas liu tan kona ba previzaun ba reseitas iha OJE. Hanesan uluk bankada FRETILIN dehan bebeik, laos deit mehi deit montanti no tau iha neeba, tamba hanesan Tribunal dehan iha nia pareser: “tenki evita previzaun iha orsamentu sai oinseluk bot fali ezekusaun final.”

Kestaun rigor, ka disiplina la iha liu, nee mak bankada FRETILIN mos koalia barak ona iha debate kona ba orsamentu iha uma fukun ida nee, tintinan. Rigor ka disiplina laiha liu iha planeamentu, ka ezekusaun orsamentu nee, maske ami konkorda ho tribunal rekursu, ba ami nee normal ona ho governu de faktu ida nee. Maibe ida nee, ita sei analiza no hatudu ho detalhus iha diskusaun tuir mai.

Tribunal Rekursu nia pareser mos lamenta kona ba falhansu ho problema neebe iha ho “desagregasaun neebe la iha ba rubrikas kona ba reseitas, neebe taka dalan ba tribunal atu bele halo analise detalhadu liu tan ba ezekusaun orsamental,” neebe Tribunal Rekursu salienta katak tamba dezagregasaun, ka ita bele dehan justifikasaun detalhadu hirak nee la iha, entaun taka dalan ba sira atu bele halo pareser ida neebe klean liu tan. Nunee sira rekomenda:

“Katak OJE tenki iha detalhus barak liu tan ho aprezentasaun reseitas dezagregadas, hodi tribunal no publiku bele halo analise diak liu tan ba nivel ezekusaun orsamental.”

Nee los, FRETILIN mos lamenta dalan barak katak kontas neebe aprezenta tenki detalhadu, hodi ita hotu bele fiskaliza, se osan neebe governu dehan bele hetan iha tinan ida hetan duni ka lae, se lai hanesan ezekusaun orsamentu nian ita nunka hatene tamba la iha detalhus. Reseitas nee osan povu nian no povu iha direitu hatene se osan neebe lei dehan ema tenki selu, selu duni ka lae, liliu ema riku sira neebe biasa la gosta selu impostu no lori osan halai lakon hotu.

FRETILIN la duvida katak governu ida nee, liliu ministeriu finansas la halo kobransas ho efetividadi no osan barak mak lakon. Nee mos ema ruma tenki responsabiliza.

Iha debate orsamentu jeral estadu nian ba tinan 2009 governu halo proposta atu muda data neebe pagamentu bele halo too 28 Feveriru 2009. Sua Excelencia Sr Xanana bainhira mai apresenta proposta koalia barak kona ba “carryover”. Tamba nee mak sistema foun atu adopta atu labele iha tan buat neebe sira alerjia makas kona ba “carryover”.

Bankada FRETILIN nia preokupasaun hamosu duni, hanesan Tribunal Rekursu deklara:

“Pagamentus neebe halo too 28 Fevreiru 2009 tenke dezagrega ho diak hodi bele komprova se pagamentus neebe halo korresponde duni ho obrigasoens neebe pendenti iha 31 Dezembru iha tinan uluk, hodi bele kumpri ho obrigasaun neebe hakerek iha pajina 134 Proposta OJE 2009, katak se la bele selu kumprimisu neebe mosu depois 31 Dezembru ano fiskal nian.”

Se lae hanesan Tribunal dehan ezekusaun orasamental bele la tuir ida neebe hakerek iha OJE ba tinan fiskal. Bele ezekusaun orsamental la los. Tribunal rekomenda governu halo tuir objetivu ida neebe hakerek iha Proposta OJE 2009 nian.

Tribunal Rekursu preokupa, hanesan ita hotu preokupa, tamba iha polemika no problemas barak neebe mosu, kona ba pagamentu osan idozus nian. Ita hotu rona barak ona, kona ba jovem foin sae simu pagamentu maibe aman no inan mos seidauk, no lalaok no hahalok sala barak seluk.

Tribunal Rekursu hakerek” “Hanesan ita bele sani iha relatoriu auditoria, no segundu informasaun neebe Ministra Solidariedade, la iha baze dadus neebe ita bele fiar kona ba se mak benefisiariu pagamentu pensoens nian.”

Nee grave tebes, no auditor mos mak hakerek iha relatoriu. Ita rona buat barak mak sala husi ministeriu ida neeba. Laos deit idosus nia osan, maibe agora keixa barak tebes kona ba osan martires. Nee merese ona auditoria klean no espesifiku ba implementasaun pagamentu osan hirak nee, molok konfuzaun seluk bele mosu, bainhira pagamentus sei haluan tan ba veteranos.

Ikus mai, maibe grave tebes, mak Tribunal Rekursu nia preokuapsaun kona ba konsitusionalidade fundus no rezervas orsamentais nian, neebe tenke sai ita nia preokupasaun agora dadaun bainhira ita diskuti porposta OGE 2011, neebe propoin fundus bot tebes, neebe hamutuk sorin balun orsamentu nian.

Maibe nee mos biasa ona, maske Tribunal Rekursu mos deklara inkonstitusional Fundu Estabilizasaun Ekonomiku tamba ida nee.

Governu ida nee la transparente ho osan neebe atu gasta iha fundus hirak nee tamba hakarak atu fahe deit tuir sira hakarak. Nee ita hare momos ona ho Fundu Sosiedade Sivil, no Fundus Kombate Pobreza neebe administra husi Gabineti Prezidenti Republika nian husi nia funsionariu balun iha neeba, sem nia konesimentu.

Ita presiza atu bele fiskaliza fundus hirak nee diak liu tan, atu evita sai fali saku azul hanesan agora. Ita hotu tenke iha respeitu makas liu tan ba Povu nia osan. Maibe hanesan tribunal temi, ida nee mos aplika hanesan ba Rezerva continjensia nian no fundus governu nian seluk tan.

Liu tia tinan ida ita hare katak buat hirak ne’ebe Bankada FRETILIN hatete iha tempu ne’eba sai duni realidade. Konta Geral do Estado ba OGE 2009 konfirma duni ami nia previsaun no realidade iha railaran, hatudu katak laiha melhorias signifikativus ba povu nia vida, liliu populsaun iha areas rurais.

End the colonization of West Papua

End the colonization of West Papua

The Dutch colony held national elections in January 1961 and control was being transferred to the indigenous New Guinea Council until the United States "pressed the Netherlands" to sell the Pacific people without their consent to Indonesian rule.

In words of the US State Department, "annexation by Indonesia would simply trade white for brown colonialism". Please read a copy of the declassified US admission and confirm for yourself this extraordinary betrayal of freedom. Kennedy believed he was committing this act to save us all from Soviet influence, but his adviser (Bundy) was under influence of a corporation that wanted Papua's gold and copper.

Since 1963 Indonesia has restricted media and foreign access and continued a campaign of deaths, disappearances, terror and torture. In recent months Indonesian trophy videos have horrified human rights NGOs, as well as videos of the burning of villages and shooting of people at a UN sponsored gathering in West Papua. [WARNING the videos of the killing of Yawan Wayeni, and torture of Tunaliwor Kiwo are unfit for human viewing].

The abuse can be stopped by ending the colonization. Just as East Timor got it's independence referendum in 1999 because it was legally still a Portuguese colony, so too West Papua is entitled to self determination because the contract selling the people was not legal.

For 48 years the US and Indonesia have blocked West Papua's name returning to the UN Decolonization list, and dissuaded countries such as Vanuatu which this year wanted to sponsor a UN motion to allow the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to give it's opinion whether West Papua is a colony.

Please sign the petition and write your own letter to your government. less

INILAH.COM, Jakarta – China ingin menjalin kerjasama dengan AS untuk mempromosikan kestabilan di Timor Leste. Demikian dokumen rahasia AS yang dilansir WikiLeaks.

“Beijing berharap bisa menjalin kerjasama dengan Washington untuk mempromoskan kestablian di Timor Timur (nama lama Timor Leste),” demikian ucapan Direktur Jendral Asia Kementerian Luar Negeri China Hu Zhengyue kepada diplomat AS, dalam dokumen rahasia itu.

Hu menginstruksikan Duta Besar (Dubes) China untuk menghubungi dubes AS membahas masalah ini sesampainya di Dili, Ibukota Timor Leste. Perhatian utama Beijing di wilayah tersebut adalah kemiskinan dan perebutan kekuasaan negara besar yang berebut pengaruh.

Dalam dokumen komunikasi kabel itu, Asisten Menteri Pertahanan AS Eric John menyatakan negaranya ingin pemerintah Timor Leste sukses. Serta menegaskan kerjasama dengan Portugal dan Australia untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut.

Hu dan John sepakat, Kedubes Amerika dan China di Dili akan terus berkoordinasi.
