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 fair 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.
