Your comment on the President’s statement that fighting corruption is still one of his government priorities:

Are there planned and concrete steps to be taken on how to fight corruption, or not ?

Eddy Arjuna Zainy

The commitment is good. But, as we know that there are so many big corruption cases that haven’t finished, we’ll see Indonesian people do no longer believe in the government’s capability.

Where is the prosperity?

Let President Yudoyono think what he thinks.

And we think what we think.

Norman Satya

If he (President SBY) is really serious about fighting corruption, then there wouldn’t be people within his own party, like Nazaruddin.

Amanda Gracia

I think it’s rubbish!

Suksma Ratri

Just wait and see but I doubt the President will succeed in rooting out corruption.

He is surrounded by many greedy people from every level of administration, who only think of their
interests.

Even with “fighting corruption” as the government’s priority, this effort seems like a losing battle.

In a unilateral state where such autonomous decentralization has been made possible, the spreading out of corrupt opportunities in all segments of administration and in all parts of the country is just
consequential.

Only a very strong hand with God’s blessing will be able to correct this anomaly and wipe out corruption in our country.

SBY and Corruption: Does anybody still take him seriously?

Indra Soebagjo

I think it’s only rhetoric. Under President SBY’s administration, the corruption itself has transformed into an untouchable kind of crime involving his political mates and relatives.

I am not pessimistic, but it is a reality that happens in Indonesia.
