Corruption

Corruption

From Pikiran Rakyat

I am concerned over the corruption, collusion, and leakage of
state funds. We know that corruption is common, yet we cannot
turn a deaf ear and blind eye to the alleged 30 percent leakage
of state funds.

Here is an example: In the space of 10 minutes no less than 70
people enter Leuwipanjang terminal, Bandung, West Java, through a
gate manned by two guards. Each person pays Rp 150 to the guards.
No one ever asks for a receipt. I'd feel strange asking for one.
It's not obvious at first that there is something wrong here.
Heaven knows how the guards account for this money. Of course the
opportunity for corruption is clear. The staff is highly tempted
to pocket the money.

If the guards issued receipts, corruption could be minimized.

For the future of the nation, we should summon the political
will to rid all institutions of corruption, collusion and the
like.
