and the honourable all of the students here.
ladies and gentlemen,
Assalamualaikum Wr wb
First of all, lets thank to Allah SWT, who has given us his mercies and blessings so
we can attend this program without any problem.
Secondly may sholawat and salam always be presented to our prophet Muhammad
SAW, who has guided us from the darkness to the lightness from the bad character to the
good one as we hold today.
Today we will discuss about CORRUPTION
THESIS
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and
corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the United States.
Its just a matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims
Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia.
(Apa kamu tahu arti dari korupsi? Apa hubungannya uang dengan korupsi? Baiklah, korupsi
merupakan hal yang umum di dunia, bahkan di Amerika. Hanya merupakan masalah
intensitas. Tetapi, sangat mengejutkan ketika salah satu survey menyatakan bahwa Jakarta
merupakan tempat yang paling banyak melakukan korupsi di Indonesia)
Argument 1
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As
most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who
want to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the
officials.
(Survei tersebut membuat saya sedih sebenarnya, karena saya tinggal dan hidup di sini di
ibu kota. Seperti yang semua tahu, penyeludupan di pelabuhan Tanjung Priok bukan
merupakan barang baru lagi. Para pengusaha yang ingin mengurangi pajak perdagangan
mereka melakukan hal seperti itu sering kali. Mereka bahkan menyogok pihak berwenang.)
Argument 2
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors
is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad
mentality caused by corruption.
(Baiklah, saya pikir ukuran yang diambil sejauh ini untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut
dengan menghukum para koruptor masih jauh dari kata cukup. Kita harus mencegah para
generasi muda dari sikap buruk yang disebabkan oleh korupsi.)

Conclusion
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be
involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction.
(Saya percaya kita harus memulai langkah awal tersebut dari sekolah dan saya pikir semua
orang harus di ikut sertakan dalam usaha untuk membasmi korupsi. Kita harus tidak
membuat pengecualian apa pun.)
