Seminar to discuss antigraft education

YOGYAKARTA: An interfaith coalition of religious-based
universities said it will hold a seminar here on Tuesday to
discuss war on corruption through educational courses.

The forum will specifically discuss an anticorruption
education program for university students, which has been
designed by the coalition.

Muhammadiyah chairman Ahmad Syafii Maarif, People's
Consultative Assembly speaker Hidayat Nurwahid and Minister of
Religious Affairs M. Maftuh Basyuni are scheduled to address the
one-day seminar.

Other speakers include Frans Magnis Suseno, Emanuel Gerrit
Singgih and Johar M.S.

The coalition's program manager for anticorruption education,
Isnaini Muallidin, said his side considers that antigraft
education is urgent to encourage people to say "No" to
corruption.

The coalition plans to educate people so as to avoid or fight
corruption through formal courses and religious sermons in houses
of worship, he added. --JP
