RI infected with corruption

Corruption is the most dangerous disease in the world. The
cause of this disease is a nasty germ that can inflict terrible
harm on anyone who contracts it.

Corruptors can behave worse than an animal. An animal is
greedy, but a corruptor is greedier than they are. Animals are
wild and cruel. Corruptors are more wild and more cruel, because
corruptors are heartless. If a lion eats meat, then corruptors,
besides meat, also eat sand, oil, wood, etc.

People say that corruption is more dangerous than narcotics.
It is true! The victim of narcotics is the person who directly
takes narcotics. But corruption's victims are the little people,
the masses who know nothing.

The masses are never directly involved with corruptors -- they
only get the impact of the corruption. The poor become poorer and
live in misery. Food, wood, oil and all else are exploited. Very
little -- or nothing at all -- is left for the 200 million little
people. Even jobs are exceedingly scarce and many have lost their
jobs or have been laid off.

Our President once said that "corruptors should be shot, as
they violated human rights". Harsh measures should be applied to
corruptors. The law should not only be to keep the masses in
line. Imagine -- mobs burn a person to death for stealing pettier
things like goats and chickens.

I cannot see the logic in how a person who has been convicted
in a corruption case can be nominated as a presidential
candidate. Unfortunately, we have no power to eliminate
corruption, collusion or nepotism. Who were the victims of the
flash flood in Bahorok? Again, the small people.

The disease of corruption has spread throughout Indonesia. So
we need a strong leader, a strong nationalist like our first
president, president Sukarno, and an honest and clean leader like
our first vice president, Mohammad Hatta.
