Eliminate corruptors

Eliminate corruptors and communists

From Sinar Pagi

A Jakarta-based newspaper in its Sept. 30 edition carried a report about a number of clever and wise people feeling worried about the possibility of a new brand of communism emerging.

Strangely, these people did not touch on corruptors, who are more dangerous than communists.

Like true communists, corruptors impair the state's financial order and resilience. They destroy people's finances and make the nation move backward in all areas. Actually, intellectuals -- whether they are in the government or not -- involved in corruption have paved the way for the reemergence of communism.

Corruption is as bad as communism, so the two must be thoroughly wiped out from this land.
