        "summary": "Five steps to corruption heaven From Warta Kota Suppose I was a corrupt government official in the New Order era, I would really feel elated with the present government under President Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) because it has not taken any action against the likes of me. Just think that half a year has elapsed since the introduction of the new government and not one of my corrupt colleagues has been brought to court.",

Just think that half a year<br>\nhas elapsed since the introduction of the new government and not<br>\none of my corrupt colleagues has been brought to court.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of a clear attitude in handling persons like me,<br>\nincluding former president Soeharto, has created extra time for<br>\nme, enough to wipe out the traces of my corruption.<\/p>\n<p>1. I would pretend I am poor. I would launder my money taken<br>\nby fraud. That would be easy enough. I would just use the names<br>\nof distant relatives for my bank deposits. I would do the same<br>\nwith other documents like land titles and car ownership. I would<br>\nkeep the documents in a safe deposit box at a bank in Singapore.<br>\nNeat and effective, is it not?<\/p>\n<p>2. I would destroy all the documents of my fraud at the office<br>\n(because I am still a functionary). The explanation would be<br>\nsimple if an investigation is launched. I would simply say that<br>\nthe documents had disappeared. In our country it is common that<br>\nfiles are in chaotic order.<\/p>\n<p>3. I would pay a legal consultant to advise me on tricks to<br>\navoid legal prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>4. I would always smile sweetly to my new boss, a member of a<br>\npolitical party. These people are usually stupid in the technical<br>\nmatters of a ministry.<\/p>\n<p>5. I would always pay attention to the activities of my boss<br>\nfor his political party. I would pretend to be a sympathizer. I<br>\nwould vouch my long-standing sympathy to the struggle of his<br>\nparty.<\/p>\n<p>PURNOMO<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
