International Anti-Corruption Day

On 31 October 2003, the United Nation General Assembly adopted the Convention against Corruption which became effective in December 2005.

In order to raise awareness of Corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it, the U.N General Assembly has declared that 9 December as the International Anti-Corruption Day.

I hope that the government, the parliament, the judicial bodies and the Corruption fighters in Indonesia would increase their efforts to eradicate Corruption in Indonesia.

  2. A good day for to ask "Am I absolutely immune, am I under no circumstance corruptible?".

    Well, personally I definitely hope so - but I'm not absolutely sure.

  3. Corruption exists almost everywhere but it is stubbornly entrenched in the poorer countries of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, former Soviet Union countries and is deep-rooted in many of the newly industrialized and emerging countries as well including Indonesia.

  4. I hope everyone understands the meaning of anti-corruption, because not only money that can be corrupted.

    @Colson,
    Corruption can be interpreted broadly to include not just related to money but also the use of time, facilities etc. that are given to us based on our position/power
