School of corruption
School of corruption
Given the extent and depth of corruption in Indonesia and its
recognition as the world's most corrupt country, I believe it
would be appropriate to establish a new scientific discipline
called "The science of corruption ala Indonesia." Expert scholars
(indigenous or foreign) should study in depth the causes,
motives, methods, whereabouts of ill-gotten wealth and
responsible parties. This will hopefully discourage people from
acting in a corrupt manner.
Expert should also investigate what countries are the
preferred safe havens for the ill-gotten gains of corruption.
I realize this is an unusual idea, but not as unusual as
proposing the study of sorcery in a school of law. The question
is who will stand up and establish the science of corruption as a
university subject.
