F

ormer vice president Jusuf Kalla says he disagrees with a proposal to ban government officials from playing golf as part of an attempt to prevent bribery. "People can bribe you at the office, at home, in a restaurant or a golf course. What it takes is weak resolve," Kalla said as quoted by tribunnews.com.

The proposal to ban golf was floated following an admission by Rudi Rubiandini, the suspended chief of Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force (SKKMigas), who said that he would never have engaged in corrupt practices if he had not started taking golf lessons.
