Fight against corruption is stagnating

Man: Okay (headline reads 6% Economic Growth)

Government official: That's okay too (headline reads Corruption Index of 34)

Transparency International in its latest Corruption Perception Index – in which Indonesia ranked 107th out of 175 with a score of 34, slightly better than last year's 32 – has warned that the fight against corruption is stagnating saying the country needs to adopt radical anti-corruption measures in favour of its people and that high levels of graft pose a threat to the sustainability of its economy and fragile democracy.
