How rich is Teten Masduki?

JAKARTA (JP): Teten Masduki, the well-known government critic
from Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW), set an example of
accountability on Thursday by declaring his wealth in public.

"My assets include a cupboard, a stove, a refrigerator and
three chickens in a cage," said Teten Masduki before participants
at a seminar discussing the auditing of public servants' wealth.

He made the revelation on the request of his fellow activist
Farid R. Faqih from Government Watch (Gowa), who insisted that as
an anti-corruption activist Teten should also disclose his wealth
to the public.

Teten said it would take him less than 5 minutes to identify
all his assets, the biggest of which he said was his wife's
monthly salary of Rp 10 million.

"Mine is Rp 4 million with additional income from seminars,"
he said to the laughter of the audience.

He said his assets also include a Kijang van and Rp 50 million
in a bank account, which he will use to build a house.

Transparent information concerning the wealth of public
servants has become a hot topic of discussion recently.

The Public Servants' Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN) has
regularly announced its findings to public, but critics remain
skeptical that the statistics will be of any use. (08)
