The Timorese Defense Force (F-FDTL) commander, Major General Lere Anan Timur said Timor-Leste’s law was weak to apply compulsory military policy for all Timorese citizens of 17 years old of age.

Lere suggested the Ministry of Defense to create law to regulate all citizens to be knowledgeable of military rules and should define the statutes of the Timorese people who had double citizenships.

“Before implementing compulsory military, we should look at problems, such as our young people who are living in abroad and the people who have double citizenship are obliged to enter military or not,” Lere said in a discussion of implementing compulsory military policy in the meeting at State Secretariat of Defense office in Fatuhada of Dili on Friday 26.
