Democracy is not as sweet as candy. When the legal order and system of separate education from the circuit. Anti-corruption education is needed as an integral part to rectify a dysfunctional democracy. In the Indonesian dictionary published by the Media Center is defined as non-functioning or state of things naturally. Lofty ideals of universal democracy is to give freedom to every human being to get the rights of humanity itself.
Seeing the chaos in the sense of system-state-then according to some studies, Indonesia is prone to interference or distortion. In a pluralistic society, democracy and nationalism is often a dilemma. Demokratissai demands that ideally strengthen nationalism, the reality also raises koflik ethnic conflict that could endanger democracy itself, which is not impossible and on behalf of the nation-state even gave birth to authoritarian rule either civilian or military (Larry Diamond & Marc F. Platner, translation "nationalism, ethnic conflict and democracy, ITB Press, 1998)
A Mohamad Hatta more than half a century ago said, corruption is a social disease is entrenched in the middle of life of Indonesian society. Referring A. Mukti Fadjar research as Donald L. Horowitz about democracy in society majemukmenunjukkan that democracy and democratization can fail for various reasons such as resistance from the civilian or military terserobot, lack of social or cultural conditions conducive, the agency that designed inappropriately, and in many countries in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe is the ethnic conflict.
Would then not be too wrong if the independence celebrations in August our self introspection. Proved to be more appropriate if the nation is still referred to as the parasite. Society is still too easily played off until delivery unrest. Our attitude is still often suspect the existence of other community groups. In fact, we do not care when a wave of thousands of refugees who have to leave his life because of the conflict.
The push for democracy and civil society to start with the movement in earnest to fight corruption and bribery. Government anti-corruption institutions are not able to walk with limitations caused kekukasaan under subordination. This country should really mebentuk an independent team to combat corruption. Even if you need to check a presidenpun not limited to the governor or a presidential aide only. Including the police chief.
We can learn from the experiences of other countries who are serious about doing this. Examples of anti-corruption agencies in developing countries leading the ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) in Hong Kong. In the book "eradicate corruption" by Robert Klitgaard (2001:130) can be traced why and how the ICAC was established, and how to achieve successful ICAC in Hong Kong police dijajaran cleaning up corruption. As in Indonesia, many Hong Kong people believe that corruption is deeply entrenched in Chinese culture in Hong Kong. There is an interesting conclusion fatalistic, saying that efforts to reduce krupsi it would be futile. The pessimistic can easily cite a variety of anti-corruption campaign failure records in masalalu.
But the Hong Kong government in 1971 passed a law preventing bribery brilliant. The law expanded the categories of violations. For those who are suspected, his personal fortune exceeded income, or who enjoy a level of living beyond what is possible by income, the burden of proof switch: they must prove themselves innocent. "In any prosecution of an offense under because of this law, the burden of providing the legitimate defense or excuse is acceptable to lie on the part of the accused." (2001:139) In short this is a reversal of the presumption of innocence is commonly used as in Indonesia . Can we set up our laws so? Of course we still have to correlate between the anti-graft education with the national legal system.
Implementation of the 2004 elections, held in a safe and relatively better than past elections have not provided the meaning nothing if not followed by a willingness to correct the national legal order. Very interesting look at what the Satjito Rahardjo (1990-1), that the Republic of Indonesia is based on law (NBHI) is a building that has not been completed and is still in the process of intensive formation. "The question is brave members of the House and DPD chosen to formulate a new order that is more conducive?
This question is not easy to answer. Democracy in this country remains extremely fragile. Greed civilian politicians have shifted from a duly legilatif function. Discussion of law and so does not reflect a fundamental change. So that cases of covert coup against democracy easily happen. Just look at the case of imported sugar. Apparently behind the regulations or policies that seemed to favor the people, the ruler of his own country who commit crimes. Not to mention the case of utilization of the legal apparatus as a political chess pawns to perpetuate power. State apparatus that had an affair with the interests of the country's political course as it gets returns a bribe.
