Being a frontrunner in a good thing is a dream comes true for any achiever. It’s true also if such achievement or underachievement is awarded to a nation or country. An award which is actually not personal but could affect a mixed feeling for any person in earch country ranked by Transparency International yearly report through its Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2008 as being the less or most corrupt. Each individual is happy to see one’s country being in the cleanest category and is ashame to see otherwise. Among ASEAN countries, Singapore people should be proud to be at no. 4 in the world followed by Malaysia (47), Thailand (80), Vietnam (121), Indonesia (126) [1], Philippines (141), Timor Leste (145), Laos (151), Cambodia (166), Myanmar (178). The lower the number stands for the less corrupt a country is and vice versa.

Explanatory notes*
Transparency International commissioned Prof. Dr J. Graf Lambsdorff of the University of Passau to produce the CPI table. For information on data and methodology, please consult the frequently asked questions and the CPI methodology or www.icgg.org.
* CPI Score relates to perceptions of the degree of corruption as seen by business people and country analysts, and ranges between 10 (highly clean) and 0 (highly corrupt).
** Confidence range provides a range of possible values of the CPI score. This reflects how a country’s score may vary, depending on measurement precision. Nominally, with 5 percent probability the score is above this range and with another 5 percent it is below. However, particularly when only few sources are available, an unbiased estimate of the mean coverage probability is lower than the nominal value of 90%.
*** Surveys used refers to the number of surveys that assessed a country’s performance. 13 surveys and expert assessments were used and at least 3 were required for a country to be included in the CPI.

[1] On positive note, this is slightly better compared to all previous years. For example have a look at the TI CPI of 2005 (at 137), 2006 (at 130), and 2007 (at 142). Where should the credit go? Should it go to President SBY or KPK or someone else?

great work its good to see people from Indonesia come up and make a blog
I thought denmark was the most corrupt country so its on top i read it again and found it was the most transparent.
October 7, 2008 at 8:41 am
ada penurunan kah korupsi di Indonesia? salut buat kinerja KPK.
October 7, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I’m glad to see the Indonesian corruption watch. they proved their capability for now on.
good job for KPK. keep struggling for our lovely country.
October 9, 2008 at 1:20 am
I believe that the mentality of Indonesians are systematically built to be corrupt. Through the educational system, through the culture, and ultimately, through the mass media.
It’s sad to see the biggest Muslim populated country being so materialistic and so far away from Islam. It will take more than just KPK to totally eradicate corruption in Indonesia. We need a more fundamental approach.
just my two cents.
October 11, 2008 at 3:39 am
Lumayan ada perbaikan, tapi masih jauh dari berhasil, ayo terus Indonesia, kamu pasti bisa
October 15, 2008 at 2:02 am
I believe Indonesia are able to get better future,
I believe we can
October 19, 2008 at 8:42 am
As a leader of different nation, hope you are the example to everybody as we face this coming year 2009. I do hope that next year. there will be less corruption.
October 21, 2008 at 7:34 am

[...] Seolah mereka tak peduli bahwa kampanye hitam secara tak langsung terjadi di sekian DPRD dan kantor pemerintah. Pelakunya tak lain rekan mereka sendiri yang dengan pongah berebut uang rakyat. [...]
October 24, 2008 at 6:54 am

Indonesia is the equal seventh most corrupt of 69 countries surveyed by Transparency International for its 2009 Global Corruption Barometer (GCB), with the country’s legislative body singled out as the most corrupt public institution.
October 2, 2009 at 9:38 am
The corruption has a bad effect for everyone. If the country has much corruption, the government has to start a real action to reduce it. Furthermore, the government also has to anticipate any possibilities of doing corruption especially in the governmental working area.
