This story is priceless and reminds Unspun of a joke he heard once:
Q: what is the difference between corruption in Indonesia and elsewhere?
A: Nothing, except that in Indonesia there is a total lack of a sense of shame on the part of the corrupt.
Government official Suseno here could not understand why Anti-corruption officials were arresting him when he took only Rp3 million of a Rp6.199 billion graft case. Perhaps the officials should arrest him for stupidity instead as he clearly wasn’t getting an equitable share of the pie. LOL
Ex-officials say theft not a crime |
Former Manpower and Transmigration Ministry officials admitted stealing state money but considered their act acceptable, the Corruption Court heard Tuesday.
“I asked Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officials at the time, ‘What are you arresting me for?’I only took Rp 3 million (US$327),” defendant Suseno Tjipto Mantoro, former head of the ministry’s evaluation and report sub-division, told the panel of judges hearing a graft case involving Rp 6.199 billion in state funds allocated for an audit of the migrant workforce in Indonesia.
Suseno and Marudin Saur Marulitua Simanihuruk, former director general for education and inspection at the ministry, were investigating the whereabouts of compensation funds for migrant workers when they allegedly siphoned off Rp 3 million and Rp 1.46 billion respectively during their time as head officials of the audit project. |
