Corruption in Indonesia seemed to be a difficult crime muzzled. Despite all the perpetrators were tried and imprisoned, but corruption still remains. Why does it happen?
Borrowing the words of Bung Hatta published in “Indonesian Observer”, July 1970, corruption has become an art and culture. What a sadreality.
Even the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) found that corruption is a crime that is unique. Commission identified three categories of persons from the perpetrators of corruption among the intelligent, the rich and the ruling means no poor people.
Corruption can be caused by a person who occupies a position of authority or abuse of power to enrich themselves, other people or corporations. As Lord Acton's messages to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887 "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."
There is no fool who commit corruption. That's all processed KPK corruption is people have good resources. Broadly speaking, that corruption occurs due to cultural factors, psychological factors and social factors.
Many things have to be addressed within this nation to get out of the evil of corruption. The elite of the nation must demonstrate exemplary. Behavior that upholds honesty, simplicity, and self-respect should always be held.
The more intelligent and powerful one should recognize boundaries. Not more greedy and greedy.
