Anwar Abbas: Prabowo's Anti-Corruption Drive Hampered by Officials' Mentality

MUI Deputy Chair Anwar Abbas said President Prabowo Subianto will find it hard to root out corruption if a corruptive mentality remains entrenched among officials. He pointed to various major cases like BLBI, e-KTP, Jiwasraya, BTS 4G, and tin trading as signs that reform hasn't fully succeeded. Abbas suggested the government partner with countries that have a clean governance track record to help with oversight, referencing the Soeharto-era experience of involving a Swiss company in the customs sector. He stressed the need for bureaucratic reform and strengthening the integrity of apparatus, with the analogy that 'you can't clean the floor with a dirty broom'. https://www.gelora.co/2026/07/anwar-abbas-prabowo-sulit-berantas.html

Astaghfirullah, corruption is like some kind of inheritance now. Hopefully Prabowo can be firm, but it comes back to mentality in the end. There needs to be a real mental revolution.

It's tough when officials don’t fear God, you know. It’s not just about oversight - there’s gotta be some shame if they’re eating dirty money.

A dirty broom will never clean the floor. That corrupt mentality is already in their blood, from the sweeper all the way up to the boss. What's needed is faith-driven awareness.

Absolutely right, from the BLBI era until now it's still around. It needs firm action without favoritism, not just empty talk.

Partner with clean countries? But don't forget, what really matters is the will to fight corruption. No use having outsiders watch over things if inside they're still stubborn as hell.
