So they (bloggers) usually ignores what they dont want to read by not visiting the site.

As mentioned at the earlier reply... it's something that's beyond my wisdom. I don't really understand how the corruption started, and how it managed to rot to this state... and how to overturn it. Somehow it already reach a state that it's difficult to be a 'clean' person... for both common citizens and those potential bribe takers. Imagine being a newbie in a working environment... most of the seniors are taking bribes; life would be much easier to join them than to resist them, or even to go against them. Imagine going against a group of cops that are taking bribes... who knows how many guns could be pointing at your back. Well, I certainly can’t answer for most of the others.

Most of people who bribe or take bribes are probably thinking that... "everyone is doing it, why not?" Besides, lots of my friends are already adapted to the bribing culture... for them as long as things are getting done, and the country is prospering... they don't really bother people taking (or giving) bribes. The situation is not going to change overnight; and I am not sure how it could be changed in near future. What I can do, is to make a change to myself, and perhaps some others around me... and probably a few that happens to read what I wrote. We = who?

If i am a gevernment official, how would i think about people condemning this? Kind of headache right? ya know jeinjee, as you yourself stated 9 out of 10 and 99 out of 100, then why would we condemn on certain corruptions and accept some?

As you mentioned earlier it was a bad culture (bribing) in Malaysia... when a Malaysia is blocked for traffic offense, 9 out of 10 would try to bribe, and 99 out of 100 officers would accept it. The practice was implanted in our mind since we were young... even a small kid would know what is 'kopi duit'. I am not sure when I started to feel embarrass of myself for being one of the bribers... somehow I started to realize that what I did was wrong and stopped practicing it. Not that I had bribe many... I rarely got myself into trouble. Speaking of which, I still have a summon that I haven't pay after months... guilty as charge for procrastination. Not in the past few years.

I can get what you mean. Lots of people are thinking that way, especially when the economy is booming. Lots of Malaysians are guilty of bribery as well. The culture has been here for years (or decades)... it will need some time to change it. Frankly I am not sure where or how to start changing the culture, besides making a change to myself first. ffad… I can get what you mean.

All i want to say is the sins that we accumulated so far could not be stop by just abdopting opposition stance. The sins i am talking about is did we offerred bribes to authority? And for those authority who took bribes, did you agreeably took it and spend it? I have this thinking, "if you, the official want, do it professionally without harming the society. No one will say anything, even supporting, if you keep the economy uphill. Take the prize only if you are worth of it, dont touch if you are not. Do something good for malaysian citizens" I am not against “doing something”. All i want to say is the sins that we accumulated so far could not be stop by just abdopting opposition stance.
