Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the
relation between money and corruption? Well, corruption is common
everywhere in the world, even in the United States. It’s just a matter
of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey
claims Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia.
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a
living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port
smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want to
minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often.
They even bribe the officials.
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by
punishing the corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent
the younger generations from getting a bad mentality caused by
corruption.
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think
everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We
must not make any distinction.
