        "summary": "Timorese say no to apprenticeship DILI, East Timor (JP): Many of an estimated 2,000 newly-recruited civil servants have rejected the government's plan to send them to other provinces on apprenticeships. They have skeptically said that they fear they will be forced to accept foreign values incompatible with theirs or face discrimination in other provinces. Some give somewhat simplistic reasons like they cannot afford to part from their families for one to two years.",
