Your comments on the investigation by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) of the beef import scandal that has uncovered a bevy of beautiful women who have said they accepted money, cars and exorbitantly expensive watches from Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politicians implicated in the case:

Just like the putrid stench of rotting flesh attracts flies, so these self-depreciating females swarm to the scent of easy money.

They are an insult to their gender. Poor Ibu Kartini is squirming in her grave!

We must recheck the case, I see a conspiracy. Statements made by KPK spokesman Johan Budi are not true.

We must be objective.

In every scandal, there are always roses around.

It is no mystery at all. For Ahmad Fathanah, money is no problem. His principle is 'easy come easy go'.

Some sexy women accepted presents in the form of cash, houses, cars, watches and expensive
accessories.

Those valuable presents are no innocent gifts but of course payments for special services rendered. It is better not to mention in public the details of the services provided.

We should not blame the women who have said that they accepted money, cars and exorbitantly expensive watches from PKS politicians because they may not have understood where the money came from.

Therefore, we should blame those politicians who steal the people's money. These politicians don't have good morals.

The KPK should improve their performance so that such corruption can be eliminated.
