If we read or see the news about Indonesia nowadays, we will feel sorry. News of corruptions, killing people, hate speeches, and many other negatives things appeared. You name it by yourself.
Indonesia is a beautiful country. It has many magnificent tourism destinations. Physically, Indonesia has everything that most of the countries dream of. Unfortunately, there is one thing that Indonesia hardly achieves, one thing that is very important to make the country increase, not decrease.
Honesty is the precious thing which is still in a big question, available or unavailable in this +62 country. Maybe, it is a very strict statement. There are a few people who are honest in their doings, although the behaviors are not admired by most of the people.
There were three cases as the examples that showed the lack of honesty based on my experiences facing the life or from the people I know.
Fake "SK"
Amir (not a real name) told his experience that happened long time ago. "I never imagined that she could do such thing," he said emotionally.
Santi (pseudonym), the person who did that, is also a friend of mine, but I don't know much about her.
She did the awful thing by making the fake letter of her beginning time in working in her school. The purpose? She wanted to become a Civil Servant (Pegawai Negeri Sipil, the terminology before changed to Aparatur Sipil Negara).
"How could she do like that?" Amir continued, "She joined the institution in 2007. Because of the passing experience year at least 2005, she made the manipulation data, making "older" Surat Keterangan (SK) Mengajar become 2004!" Amir said.
"The principal let it happened. He insisted he didn't know the fact. I believed he supported what Santi had done," Amir closed the conversation by ending with this sentence.
In 2010, he protested to the principal about the dishonest activity that was done by Sinta.Â
Amir resigned in 2013, three years after that, because he didn't like the situation and condition in the school anymore.
