If yes, it is better to speak plus to sing in Bahasa Tetum than Bahasa Indonesia in the East Timor Concert because some Australians are too allergic to Bahasa Indonesia. In- deed, Bahasa Tetum is 'perfect match' with East Timor Concert. Again if yes, "tolong pisahkan tempat duduk antara orang Indonesia dengan orang Timor Timur sebab orang Timor Timur di Australia agak berani melawan orang Indonesia di Australia, karena mereka di-'backing' kuat oleh 'Deputy Sherrif' John Howard. In short, Bahasa Tetum is very good for your future carrer than Bahasa Indonesia (Just a personal opinion). Yours sincerely, Yusuf L. Henuk
