Doubts are mounting over the Corruption Eradication Commission'€™s (KPK) commitment to pursuing high-profile cases following a plan to assign new police investigators to assist the antigraft body at the request of its new leadership.

Antigraft campaigners have voiced pessimism over the future of high-profile graft investigations under the leadership of acting chairman Taufiequrachman Ruki and acting deputy chairman Indriyanto Seno Adji because of perceived potential conflicts of interest in a number of cases being investigated by the KPK.

I would really encourage another 1998 demo. Just one more time. Make it bigger and louder.

The Indonesian people have to support the KPK in every way possible. Another 1966/1998 movement is surely not out of the question.

Did you live through 1998? I did.  It wasn'€™t really about corruption.  If it wasn'€™t for the crisis, it would never have happened.

The KPK has been decapitated and corruption has won. I would definitely have thought about such a scenario had Prabowo Subianto won the election, but not with President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo in charge.

Now we are almost missing our former lame duck president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. It'€™s business and politics as usual. In my country, such a situation would have caused an uprising.
