Corruption in Indonesia

Perhaps, for many people, the statement of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) that Indonesia will take approximately 15 years to realize people's lives are completely clean of corrupt practices is very clear evidence that corruption actually had a very severe disease for the state and nation. Outrageous, 15 years of corruption can only be exterminated. And it was still not sure! So, how much more public money to be stolen by thieves or criminals? 

The statement, delivered the President in the presence of about 500 Indonesian citizens in Busan, South Korea, underlined words a few months ago, which reads: «What a shame if Indonesia as a Muslim-majority nation and is the largest Muslim country in the world but the number of corruption also highest in the world »
The President said the government is really serious in combating corrupt practices and already many officials such as governors, regents, and mayors, and members of Parliament who checked in connection with alleged corruption
Corruptor is a villain and traitor
President of the new revelation that corruption can be exterminated 15 years, and also that we're embarrassed as a country with the largest Muslim population in the world but also the highest corruption rate in the world, can cause a lot of people get confused and wonder: What is the main cause in our country it happenscorruption is so bad? Is the Islamic religion at all can not be relied upon to prevent corruption? What are some that must be taken to eliminate corruption? Is it not possible corruption be eradicated?Does the Indonesian nation does have a tendency to corrupt? Is it corruption is normal, including the weakness of every human being? What is the "insufficiency" rather than a key driver for corruption?

 Whatever the questions and whatever answers can also be given, one thing is already clear to everyone is that the country we have too rotten for severe disease called corruption. In fact, there are people who say - with upset and angry - that the Republic of Indonesia is now the state gunsmith. It may be, heard in passing, a phrase which demkian it feels a bit too far or "excessive".However, if you remember how very much rampant corruption that has been plagued by malignant or large-beasaran in our country, it is worth it if people would say that the Republic of Indonesia is now the country of thieves, that is, his country of criminals.
To be more clear in the thinking of all of us, fitting confirmed that the word "corruption" is in another language STORE, and is a crime. Corruptor is in a language lugunya criminals. Therefore, arguably the state we are now essentially controlled by many criminals. These criminals occupy senior positions and most respected in (among others!): The Supreme Court, the State Secretariat in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, in Kejaksan Supreme and High Court, in the DPR and DPRD, at Police Headquarters and at the TNI headquarters, in many of the governor's office and the Regent, on the banks and state enterprises, and agencies or civilian government agencies and other military. 

In essence, the criminals big or big thief (or the great corruptor) is a TRAITOR large quasi-folk and country. Strictly speaking, and he explained, they are also traitors ummah.
Large Case Probosutejo
Since some time ago we were all treated by the press (and television) Indonesia a serialized story about a big case Probosutedjo, half brother of former president Suharto, which deals with the corruption of industrial forest in South Kalimantan, which cost the state USD 100.9 billion. Running story is interesting and disgusting all at once or make us shake my head, because it involves the amount of bribe money is very large and also dragged the name of great men. According to his own Probosutedjo bribe money he had spent as much as Rp 16 billion to "take care of" his case. Among the names mentioned involved in major cases have Supreme Court Chief Justice Bagir Manan. A number of justices of the supreme court in this country have been examined or prosecuted.
On 30 September, the KPK has arrested Harini Wiyoso (lawyer Probosutedjo) and five employees of the Supreme Court. Of the six suspects bribery case, the KPK confiscated money of U.S. $ 400,000 and Rp 800 million. The money was given Harini to take care of the case in the Supreme Court appeal. At the first level Probosutedjo sentenced to four years in prison, but the appellate court sentenced two years in prison lighter. On appeal, the case was handled corruption Probosutedjo three Supreme Court justices, Bagir Manan, Parman Suparman and Usman Karim.
Apart from the question of how this Probosutedjo next big case will be over, but the case is already showing some very ugly face and bad practices that have been infected - since a long time! - The world of law and justice of our country. This case has also shown how much power and money (please note: the stolen money!) In legal decision making. Probosutedjo's lawyer claimed that the money amounting to Rp 6.5 billion has been distributed to the judges!
Corruption at the State Secretariat
Another thing that also shows that corruption has been raging for a long time among the above is news that tersiarnya Coordinating Team for Corruption Eradication (Timtas Corruption) decided to go to the Office of the State Audit Board (BPK) to investigate alleged corruption in the Secretariat of State (State Secretariat). The move was done after Timtas Corruption wait BPK audit results concerning corruption in the State Secretariat, but did not come. 

From the results of a preliminary investigation of corruption at the State Secretariat, found some indication of corruption. Among other land management problems at Bung Karno and Kemayoran who violate procedures. For example, there is a transfer of land became the property of someone. In addition there are also a diversion of funds the Asian-African Conference (KAA) to-50 in Bandung, 2004.
In September last, the BPK audit of alleged corruption at the State Secretariat concerning the three components. That is related to asset management, budget management, funds management and partner State Secretariat. There is no certainty about the huge losses incurred by state and misuse of funds at that institution.
However, Timtas Corruption have noticed while data regarding the alleged misappropriation of funds to the organization of KAA-50 in Bandung reached more than 500 million.
Let's see the continuation of the investigation of corruption in this State Secretariat. As is known by many people, in times of Suharto's heyday, is the immense power of the State Secretariat, and therefore, its misuse is also remarkable immense. Armed Forces Headquarters and the State Secretariat (and Jalan Cendana) is the nerve center of the New Order military regime.And it lasted for 32 years. So, can not imagine anymore how much money has been diverted through the State Secretariat, which allows many generals and leaders of Golkar (!) To accumulate wealth by unlawful means unclean.
New Order Nation Moral Destroyer
If we carefully rampant corruption that plagued many areas and agencies in our country, then we will see clearly that the main factors cause is, again, moral degradation or depravity of faith.Especially decadence or depravity of faith (or moral decay) among the "top", or among government leaders, leaders of political parties, religious leaders and communities.

And moral decline, or the depravity of faith, or moral decay is the result or product of the New Order military regime. Military regime tightly controlled by the army and the Golkar this for more than 32 years has destroyed a large scale in many areas of the nation's morals. Now can be seen clearly (because the proof can be seen everywhere these days) that, in essence, the military regime of Suharto et al do not educate people to make good moral. New Order military regime has destroyed the moral of many, especially among supporters figures.
Lots of New Order's leaders (especially the leadership of the army and the Golkar Party) have shown examples of poor or very negative for the nation. Not only in matters of Human Rights (remember, among other things, large-scale massacre of 65), and democratic life, and tolerance they have provided a bad example, but also the problem of corruption. Which was shown by the Suharto family, as a great figure of the New Order, and the main leadership of Golkar (and the supreme leader of the Armed Forces) in illicit wealth accumulated by misuse or misappropriate power, is a very bad example for the nation entirely.
Should the People's Revolution?
Corruption exists very close relationship with moral issues.Typically, the system of government or political system can only be created by both - and with - the people a moral good also. Military regime of Suharto's New Order et al for 32 years has been a terrible neglect of education and fostering the moral of this nation.As a result: the spirit of mutual help abandoned, honesty in the work to be lost, a sense of devotion to public interests into weird stuff, of dedication to the interests of the people to be laughed at, the mandate of the suffering of the people so empty slogans alone, work sincerely to ridicule many people, living simply and free from corruption even considered crazy or weird.
Seeing the many corruption cases that have been attacked so badly the executive, legislative and judicial, then the question arises: whether corruption can be eradicated? What could be 15 years again, as envisaged by President SBY? Perhaps, the most reasonable answer is: very difficult!
Because moral corruption and depravity of faith caused by the Suharto military regime of his colleagues for more than 32 years was too broad and too severe, too. Today, arguably the entire bureaucracy of government and various civil and military institutions are a product of the New Order. Not much - or not many - among them who was really touched by the reforms.
From the people of this New Order products, especially from those who still continue to support a variety of patterns of thinking Suharto's military regime et al (although working under SBY or other presidents), can not expect an attitude that really concern people's interests and also the right attitude completely anti-corruption.
Therefore, there are people who have been so pessimism about the eradication of corruption, so that they can only be reached through the people's revolution. According to them, all evil, all the decay, and all the ugliness that we see today, most of whom are products of the New Order, it is not possible - or will be a long time - can be eliminated by any means, and by anyone, except by the people's revolution .
To people who think so, it could be said: maybe, maybe, you're right. But wait, be patient, and do not rush or do not trigger-lust, because the road is still long ..............!
