CORRUPTION AND ITS SOLUTION
Corruption, this word is very often heard by Indonesian society. From the word on our minds are about one thing that dirty, one thing that makes a lot of people miserable, something that causes anger in a society who feels disadvantaged, which is usually felt by poor people. Corruption is usually done by individuals, by someone who are greedy with wealth and ascedancy, someone who promised to promote people's welfare, who have been sworn in during his inauguration. In Indonesia, not a few candidates who promised and slogged would prosper the people before the people chose him, and even there are someone whose made promises, when he made corruption that he was willing to hang over on the monas. But, what do they give is only a false promise to deceive the society just to enrich themselves. Indonesia has ranked 14th in the list of the most corrupt countries in Asia and number 96 in the world. What I know is that Indonesia has abundant wealth and a large country, but Indonesia only gets the title of a consumptive country, whereas we know that Indonesia is capable to produce something consumptive to be exported and consumed for Indonesian people. Because it has a consumptive lifestyle, the desire arises in employee to enrich themselves quickly and instantly. Then it was born a greedy attitude where officials abused their authority and position. Law enforcement in Indonesia is very dilapidated. law enforcement does not work almost in all lines of life, both in government agencies and in social institutions because everything is measured by money. Ineffective supervision, and a light punishment for corruptors. because the corrupt perpetrators only received a mild punishment, thats why it does not cause a deterrent effect for those who do the corruption. The perpetrators of corruption should be punished according to the crimes that they have done. Japan, for example, they are who caught in corruption case will feel very embarrassed and they will end their own lives to make amends for what they have done, every corrupt case they have done that make the society feels miserable. Then in Vietnam, and Singapore especially in China, everyone who has been proven to have committed corruption more than one hundred thousand yuan or worth two hundred fourteen million rupiah can be punished to death, even the Chinese government is really serious about eradicating corruption in the country with prepare coffins for corruptors. And also In Saudi Arabia, the punishment for corruptors in Saudi Arabia are carried out in accordance with Islamic law, that is by being beheaded. Even in Malaysia, the Anti Corruption Act were applied, which further strengthens the law for corruptors, If the employee in Malaysia is proven to be corrupt, then the punishment is hanging law, so they will be hanged in front of the society of Malaysia. Indeed, the punishment sounds inhuman, but if it can produce a deterrent and fear effect to corruptors and it can eliminate corruption cases in Indonesia why do not we try? because the perpetrators of corruption also can take the lives of people with taking their rights. because what I know is that corruptors in Indonesia who are known to commit corruption are only punished with several years in prison and the prison they occupy is very different with the other people who are equally committing crimes. Even they have a place of imprisonment which can be considered very comfortable to live in because it has complete and luxurious facilities.
In my opinion education about corruption should have started at an early age so that children know how detrimental corruption is for all Indonesians people, give education for children to get used to being honest because children are so quick to record and capture what they see and they heard. That's when the role of parents can take the advantage of these conditions to feed them with positive values. One of it, teaches them to always being honest and keep them away from things that can harm the other.
