DILI, East Timor: An East Timorese official is currently being
questioned about why he published his own version of the book 20
Tahun Timor Timur Membangun (20 Years of East Timor Development),
the official version launched last Tuesday.

Provincial Administration Secretary Radjakarina Brahmana said
the book published by A.H. Latuconsina has been declared illegal,
Antara reported.

Latuconsina, who is secretary of the Association of Civil
Servants in East Timor, was originally commissioned by the
provincial administration to write and publish the book. The
contract, however, was withdrawn because the content of his book
did not follow the guidelines set by the government. (emb)
