Corruption Still “Successful”*

We were again surprised by the arrest operation (OTT) conducted by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) last weekend. The anti-corruption commission arrested the Chairman of Commission D of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), DKI Jakarta, Muhammad Sanusi from The Gerindra Party, which is suspected of accepting bribes of Rp. 2.14 billion in two tranches from PT Agung Podomoro Land. The arrest was related to the discussion of the rules for reclamation of coastal and small islands in North Jakarta. Besides Sanusi, the KPK also arrested the President Director of PT Agung Podomoro Land, Ariesman Widjaja and an employee, Trinanda Prihantoro. The KPK also prevents

chairman Agung Sedayu Group, Sugianto Kusuma who wants to travel abroad.

Previously, the KPK arrested two officials of the State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) PT Brantas Abipraya (Persero) and a private party at a hotel in Cawang, East Jakarta. The three people are: Sudi Wantoko (Director of Finance of PT Brantas Abipraya), Dandung Pamularno (Senior Manager of PT Brantas Abipraya), and Marudut (private sector). Of the three, the KPK managed to confiscate US$148,835. The arrest was related to efforts to stop the investigation into the corruption case of PT Brantas Abipraya at the Jakarta High Court. Two prosecutors, namely the Head of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejatia), Sudung Situmorang and the Assistant for Action Special Crimes at the DKI Jakarta Prosecutor's Office, Tomo Sitepu, was also investigated because both of them were related to the case that.

The re-arrest of members of the legislature, state officials from BUMN, and entrepreneurs or private companies by the KPK shows that that reforms aimed at changing the corrupt system are now being controlled by those who control the system strategic.

as in previous arrests, they were almost always colored by the shock of the perpetrators' people and close family. But the fact is, it does happen and happens again. Why not, a person who behaves well and always declares war on corruption, turns out to have slipped into the puddle of this dishonorable act.

If traced, this condition is partly caused by the lighter sentences for corruptors. If in 2013 the average length of prison sentences for corruption convicts was 2 years and 11 months, in 2015 it was 2 years and 2 months. At the same time, it's getting eroded culture shame makes people permissive and even tends to easily forget the corruptors….

This is an example of an editorial in the inner newspaper language Indonesia. Hopefully it will be useful and able to add insight to all readers, both regarding the editorial in particular, as well as language learning materials Indonesia in general.
