Bali Forum sends graft-free cards

DENPASAR, Bali: This year, Bali's high ranking officials received a different kind of card for New Year, with a message saying that this year is corruptor-free year.

The efforts, jointly organized by Bali Forum and several non governmental organizations (NGO) and community groups, also included a message -- "Let's hope this region and country are immediately free of corruptors".

Bali Forum executive director I Dewa Agung Lidartawan said on Sunday that some 100 cards were sent to, among others, the Bali Governor, regents, mayors, the police chief, the military chief as well as leaders of political parties, NGOs and mass media.

"We hope all components in the society will unite to fight corruption, so corruptors will no longer have a place in Indonesia and especially Bali," he said. -- Antara
