Letter: Antigraft fighting: Where to go?
| Fri, 12/04/2009 2:19 PM
This seems to be a plot for a Hollywood or Bollywood movie. The anticorruption chief is involved in a relation with a girl, kills the girl's husband, is arrested and then reveals information that shocks the country. And it goes on.
This will not end. Every country has corruption. But while the amount changes, corruption prevails.
Somehow this case mirrors that everybody is corrupt and connected to each other. Now one person has been caught, he is trying to pull down others. They are trying to save themselves by blaming each other.
In the end, this case is static. It will be continue for many years.
The presidential fact-finding team, which was supposed to reach conclusions and give recommendations to the President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has not provided any solid facts. Facts that are revealed divert to another problem.
And people have short-term memories. People have forgotten the case of Lapindo, those who have suffered have resumed their normal life, or "struggling" life.
Same with the Bank Century case, as days pass people will forget until another graft case begins.
