A Friend From Timor-Leste

East Timor is also known as Timor-Leste. East Timor was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century.

In 1999, Indonesia relinquished control of the territory and East Timor became the first sovereign state of the 21st century on May 20, 2002. East Timor is one of only two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Asia after The Philippines.

Within the geographical vicinity in South East Asia, Timor-Leste is not much different from any of her neighbouring countries in culture and religion.

This is what Alberico da Costa Junior has to say to CJ Sunny Lim recently.
