PMII to look at antigraft drive

BOGOR, West Java: The government's performance in corruption eradication will top the agenda of the national congress of the Nahdlatul Ulama-affiliated Indonesian Islamic Students Movement (PMII) here this weekend.

The chairman of the event's organizing committee, Rahmat Imron Hidayat, said PMII would support a sharp increase in the salary of law enforcers if it was deemed necessary to curb rampant corruption.

"Corruption takes place mostly because of collusion involving law enforcers," Rahmat said.

He said the youth organization would also call on the government to move the capital city from Jakarta, emulating Malaysia which has moved the administrative capital to Putra Jaya. -- JP
