35% Follow Their Leader's Footstep

While listening to the news on radio this morning, I heard the following:

"According to the latest finding ACA, 35% of the students from the local institutes of higher learning says that they will accept bribe when they are placed in high or powerful position in the future. ACA expressed their concern over such statistics."

I guess this speaks very well about "leadership by example" shown by our generation of corrupt leaders. I wonder what Mohd Isa and his gang have to say about this? Actually I wonder what will be the reaction from any of our top leadership in the country on this matter.

Are they going react with their routine of "such report is baseless and not transparent" or "we will have a meeting with ACA to discuss the findings" or "35% is a small portion of the community which cannot represent the whole"?

In my opinion, 35% is quite a humble figure considering corruption is deeply rooted in our daily lives ie. traffic police summons, AP(s), car towing, land purchase, government tender and projects, piracy etc.

Imagine this, if we were to bribe a traffic police with our whole family in the car, do you expect them to believe such act are wrong? When we take them with us shopping for pirated stuff, do you expect them to not to follow suit when they grow up?

I hope this can be a clear reminder to those who is currently in "high and powerful positions", there are millions of younger people looking up to your "fine example" other than your "blinded" conscience, if you can't lead by example, it is only best that you step down before you caused further damage to our young minds...

The young ones are telling us: "You did it... Why can't us?"
