Corruption everywhere

Indonesians may cry over the blood spilled by our national heroes who fought and died to free our country from Dutch colonial rule. Sadly, we are now witnessing an era when corruption has become the issue of the day.

I beg all functionaries and officials to please give due appreciation to those who died for you and the positions you now hold, and serve the nation according to your capacities and capabilities.

Stop craving wealth. Do not set a bad example for the children who will become future leaders of the country. Otherwise, this country will lag behind other nations and fall into disgrace.

May God bless us.
