TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Deputy Secretary General of the Indonesian Democratic Party of struggle (PDIP), Ahmad Basarah, said the corruption professor in Indonesia was President Soeharto. According to Basarah, corruption was rooted in the in-laws of presidential candidate number 02 Prabowo in power. "Thus, Indonesian teachers belonging to the corruption are in compliance with the MPR Decree number 11 of the year, President Soeharto," said Basarah at the Megawati Institute in Jakarta, Wednesday, November 28, 2018.

The decision of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) number 11 in 1998, said Basarah, provides for the launch of a program to eliminate corruption, collusion and nepotism. The TAP MPR, said Basarah, has regulated the issue of law enforcement against alleged bribers, including President Soeharto.

Basarah's statement was a response to Prabowo Subianto's speech in Singapore that insinuated the Indonesian government elite that was full of corruption. At the 2019 Grand Hyatt Hotel Gala Dinner, Prabowo said corruption in Indonesia was comparable to stage four cancer.

Basarah said that Prabowo was part of a corrupt regime at the time of the New Order and was even Suharto's son-in-law. He said that the issue of corruption is the duty of this country, which we have to clean up now, because of the tradition that has developed since the previous era.

Basarah said that by insinuating corruption, Prabowo was like banging water on a bone and splashing his face. "It's our duty together, but the source goes back to the time of power, when Pak Prabowo became part of the New Order's power at that time," he said.

However, says Basarah, the time has not come to look for scapegoats, and one can not deny that corruption has become a national problem. Basarah said that the eradication of corruption should be handled in an extraordinary way, not only by blaming one party or the other. "That's why our country has made corruption an extraordinary crime."
