Indonesian Government Opens Up, But Will It Battle Corruption?

Since the political reformation in 1998 that led changes in Indonesia, the shift from the term 'New Order' to 'Era Reformasi' or 'Reformation Period' has seen the  reform of various governmental institutions. The new order's extravagant nepotism and corruption had caused a deep distrust among most indonesians toward the government and affected public demand for the transparency, accountability of government institutions. Sixteen years of democratization process has passed, but still a lot remained to be done and asked whether Indonesia today is getting better or even worse than the New Order.
