Corruption and its solution in Indonesia

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.

11 Fakta Unik dan Lucu Tentang Uang

11 Fakta Unik dan Lucu Tentang Uang



Hampir setiap uang kertas di dunia dicetak dengan memasukkan gambar tokoh-tokoh penting di satu negara. Tokoh tersebut bisa pahlawan, Presiden, atau Ratu sebuah kerajaan.

Namun apa jadinya jika ternyata foto novelis karya fiksi pun bisa digunakan sebagai gambar dalam mata uang kertas?.

Seperti melansir Mirror.co.uk, Selasa (30/7/2013), menyebutkan keputusan menggunakan foto novelis Inggris Jane Austen ini merupakan hal yang langka terjadi pada mata uang poundsterling.

Bahkan, novelis karya fiksi ternama ini dikabarkan akan menjadi wanita pertama dalam gambar pecahan uang kertas 10 poundsterling baru di Inggris.

Kenyataannya, hal ini bukan hal unik pertama soal uang. Dalam sejarah dan perkembangannya, uang memiliki deretan kisah unik yang bahkan cenderung lucu. Berikut 11 fakta tentang keunikan uang:

1. Kepala atau ekor?

Bagaimana ini bisa terjadi. Sebelum uang, orang-orang melakukan transaksi jual beli lewat pertukaran barang. Di Nauru, benua Pasifik, warganya menghargai satu hal dibanding uang, yaitu tikus. Sebab itu muncul istilah kepala atau ekor.

Warga pra modern bergantung pada perdagangan komoditas seperti suku Aztec yang menggunakan biji kopi, warga Norwegia yang menggunakan mentega, Paraguay yang menghargai siput dan para tentara Roman yang dibayar dengan garam.

2. Uang Monopoli

Ternyata pencetakan uang tunai untuk permainan monopoli setiap tahun lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan uang tunai yang dicetak di Amerika Serikat (AS).

Sebanyak US$ 30 miliar uang monopoli dicetak di AS setiap tahun. Sementara uang tunai yang dicetak di Bureau of Engraving and Printing AS hanya berjumlah US$ 11 miliar.

3. Ekor babi

Dalam bahasa Inggris kuno kata `pygg` adalah sebutan untuk jenis tanah liat yang digunakan orang untuk menyajikan hidangan atau sebagai kendi tempat menyimpan uang.

Seiring berkembangnya bahasa, saat ini kata `pygg` terdengar seperti pig (babi). Hal itulah yang menyebabkan celengan-celengan di Inggris kebanyakan berbentuk babi.

4. Uang atau kehidupan

Uang kertas pertama kali dicetak di China selama abad ke-10. Tapi itu tak bertahan lama setelah Genghis Khan mengalahkan negara tersebut.

Dari kerajaan besar tersebut, dia merebut emas dan perak dan memberikan uang kertas sebagai gantinya. Dia juga menolak uang yang disebut sebagai tindak pelanggaran.

5. Dolar dan simbolnya

Tanda $ untuk mata uang AS dikatakan berasal dari Ps Spanyol, singkatan dari peso. Guna menyingkatnya lebih pendek, maka S ditambah dengan P. Maka hasilnya muncul rumus P+S = $

Simbol ini telah banyak digunakan, hingga akhirnya terdapat pada uang dolar pertama pada 1875, lambang tersebut tak ada dalam uang kertas AS.

6. 18 juta poundsterling uang rusak setiap tahun

Mutilated Note Service dari bank Sentral Inggris mengganti uang yang bernoda, sobek atau rusak. Setidaknya setengah dari uang kertas yang dikeluarkan bank rusak.

Terdapat sekitar 30 ribu pengajuan uang rusak bernilai 18 juta poundsterling setiap tahunnya. Uang tersebut rusak karena tertinggal di mesin cuci, digigit hewan peliharaan, terbakar di oven dan hilang begitu saja.

7. Bentuk terbesar yang terbaik

Uang kertas terbesar yang pernah dicetak bank Sentral Inggris merupakan nominal 1 juta poundsterling pada 1948. Pencetakan uang terbesar ini guna membantu Eropa pasca Perang Dunia II.

Uang ini hanya bisa digunakan pemerintah AS dan dibatalkan setelah beberapa bulan pencetakannya.

Meski sudah ditarik dari peredaran, tak berarti uang tersebut tak berharga. Pada 2008, satu dari dua uang yang masih ada dilelang dan terjual senilai 78 ribu poundsterling.

8. Gambar tokoh di uang kertas

Tokoh-tokoh bersejarah di Inggris telah lama mengisi gambar pecahan uang sejak 1970 dan bank Sentral Inggris menyambut baik berbagai gagasan tentang siapa yang patut dihormati dan berada di uang kertasnya.

Beberapa saran yang diberikan masyarakat termasuk Agatha Christie, bahkan the Beatles.

9. Tepian gerigi pada uang koin

Tahukah, mengapa koin memiliki pola bergerigi di sekitar putarannya?. Uang logam biasanya dibuat dari logam mulia dan para pencuri biasanya mencuri dan memotong tepian logamnya.

Jadi pemerintah mencoba mengatasinya dengan mengubah pola uang koinnya. Hal ini juga dapat mempersulit tindakan pemalsuan uang.

10. Alasan uang dolar AS berwarna hijau

Terdapat tiga alasan kenapa mata uang dolar Amerika Serikat (AS) berwarna hijau. Yang pertama, jumlah tinta warna hijau tersedia dalam jumlah besar saat akan mencetak uang.

Kedua warna hijau tahan akan perubahan kimiawi. Yang ketiga, secara psikologis, warna hijau bisa diidentifikasi dengan kredit pemerintah As yang kuat dan stabil.

11. Uang kertas bergambar sang Ratu

Potret Ratu Elizabeth II muncul di mata uang 33 negara lebih dari gambar tokoh manapun.

Kanada merupakan negara pertama yang menggunakan gambarnya di pecahan uang kertas bernilai US$ 20 pada 1935. Saat itu dia masih menjadi puteri berusia 9 tahun.

Dalam beberapa tahun, sebanyak 26 potret Ratu Elizabeth II telah digunakan di Inggris, di negara jajahannya, dan di sejumlah wilayah kekuasaanya.

Sementara beberapa pihak mencetak uang dan mengganti gambar sesuai dengan perubahan usianya, sebagian pihak lain tetap memilih memasang foto mudanya.

Saat Belize merancang ulang mata uangnya pada 1980, negara ini memilih gambar yang sudah berusia 20 tahun.
