My current affairs article: Here

This is what i feel that this is a serious problem in Asia (except Singapore ) and is of high priority to solve. I think that it is moral to use one's position of power to benefit oneself just for monetary interest. This month, there a similar story about how India has “lost” over $450 billion due to illegal capital flows. Some of this is again money raised in crimes, which was illegally earned and ideally would never have existed in the first place. The other funds are deemed lost only because the Indian federal government tries to restrict capital movement. India is not the most economically advanced country in Asia, thus this huge sum of money could be put to better use and solve many of India's existing problems, such as food and water shortage, poverty and the poor living conditions of people. It seems that these so called "leaders" do not fill in the role of being a real leader, ready to lead a country on and advance. I agree with Anna Hazare method of getting justice. Very much like Gandhi, their methods of strike involved no violence but it did get the message across. However other strikes like those in egypt and tunisia involve violence, and it gets the point across. i think that the law makers of these countries should reflect on their leaders and see if they are truely able to serve and lead India, or just want benefits for themselves, and act out accordingly with their punishments.

  1. Hi, i am colin.

    I agree with you about the fact that corrupted government are actually affecting the country and the economy.

    Leaders should really reflect on their performance and they must be clear why they are at that position in the first place. They are there to serve the country but not to scam the country.

    Nice post! Thanks!

  2. I agree with Yi Heng and i also feel that this is a very serious issue. A corrupted government would not serve the people as well as a good government would as money can change huge decision made by the government.
