corruption - misdeed or convenience?

Indonesia is one of the most corrupted country in the world, and I hate the fact that sometimes I'm involved too and I cannot help it…

e.g. I need a document (imigration) to be processed pronto, which usually take 2 weeks, but because I don’t have time for it, I need to pay extra amount of money (the extra payment will not be printed on the receipt, I wonder where the money gone to who) so that the document will be ready in no longer than 48 hours!

My lecturer once said to me, "polisi di Indonesia ini ntar banyakan yg masuk neraka" (most of policemen in Indonesia later will be thrown into hell), because he himself tired of corrupted policemen which is really hard to fine an honest one.

Hakim Mahkamah Agung suspected accept bribe. How irony?
Kalau dah yg tertinggi pun camni, macam mana kita nak percaya yang di bawah nya pula?

My friend an indonesian told me, "tau ga rafshan? Ada satu gabenor nih di indonesia, gue lupa di mana, dia itu gajinya biasa2 aja, tapi tuntutan uang perbelanjaan nya ya ampun!! Uang koran aja sebulan Rp6juta, belum yg lain2 shan!!"
(u know rafshan, there is a gabenor in indonesia, whose salary is average, but then his claim is so ridiculuous! He claims money from the gov for newspaper as much as Rp6 juta (RM2500.00) a month, I wonder how much he claims for other stuffs)
What kind of newspaper he read though? From all over the world?


This entry is not about condemning Indonesia solely, because, our country is no better about corruption either.


On news, a policeman is under inquisition period, because of properties that he owns, approximately RM27 millions. Damn it! If I know from the beginning that by becoming a police can make me that filthy rich, I would not enter medical school in the 1st place, and enter police academy instead =P

You know how corrupt our leaders are?well sorry that we cannot discuss about it here, because this is not a place for such talk about politics (oops). Go kedai kopi instead. U r free to speak ur mind there, ok?


People keep telling us that corruption is bad, but for people who are not so clever, they can't tell why corruption is bad, and people still involving in corruption because most of the time, corruption is convenience!

Instead of writing a ticket for law breaking driver and get nothing, a policeman may receive a 'duit kopi' from the law breaker instead. Win-win situation though? The policeman make extra profit to his not so big salary, and the driver free from proceeding.

There are lots of examples around us, u just need to open ur eyes, and ur mind.

And I know u reader are clever type people, so you can tell by urself why corruption is bad. Fikir sendiri ok.
