One bribes to get unf...You cannot legalize "bribe". One bribes to get unfair advantage over the others. To legalize it means that we would acknowledge "unfairness", which would be straightly in contradiction with our own constitution (that says so much about "keadilan"). I for one will not want to participate in a country where fairness is not one of its moral value.<BR/><BR/>The correct mechanism to use is simply "tax". The cost to maintain security, including reaslistic personel salary, should be calculated to reflect the real cost, and reflected in the tax. However like everything else in Indonesia, the cost is relatively high because we're stimulating labor intensive approach. In the case of army, we typically maintain a host of low-rank soldiers. They cost a lot, leaving little to pay attractive salaries for the officers.<BR/><BR/>The solution should be in "efficient production". In the case of army, cut down drastically the number of soldiers. Try to use technology or other non-labor instruments to control security.AWB:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15381778966763141903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18156735.post-1135907754851774392005-12-30T08:55:00.000+07:002005-12-30T08:55:00.000+07:00as a general, he definately got serious brain malf...as a general, he definately got serious brain malfunction. two words : politically incorrect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18156735.post-1135877233273908262005-12-30T00:27:00.000+07:002005-12-30T00:27:00.000+07:00Hi Bang rizal... it's ok my guru if u have so many...Hi Bang rizal... it's ok my guru if u have so many question cause it meant u are still alive. <BR/><BR/>btw, could you allow me to add one more question i.e. is it true that our budget still so limited? are there any other ways to increase quality management of budget revenue as well as its allocation? I think the answer is: yes, there is. The phenomenon that private actor (in your case Freeport) is not reluctant to pay more for army services, at least IMHO, one of the prove that we can still improve the budget management from the revenue side and i think there are plenty other options that we can figure it out in expenditure side.<BR/><BR/>it's just my two cents. you might be more expert than me in this matter cause if i'm not mistake one of your specialization is about budget management.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18156735.post-1135876994311540592005-12-30T00:23:00.000+07:002005-12-30T00:23:00.000+07:00Hi Bang rizal... it's ok my guru if u have so many...Hi Bang rizal... it's ok my guru if u have so many question cause it meant u are still alive. btw, could you allow me to add one more question i.e is true that our budget is so limited? is there any other ways to increase quality management of budget revenue as well as its allocation?
