It is everybody's responsiblity to make a certain nation prosper. It is not just the government eventhough they have the power, still they cannot make it without the people. The reason why our nation has less improvement it because rely too much on our government and we know that our government has a lot of problems. Having corrupt officials is not just the fault of the system but also by the people because they are the one who made the choice to put the official in the position.

i totally agree with you. i think corrupt officials cannot corrupt if we(not really WE, but the old folks) don't make them government officials in the first place.

Yeah it's true we as a part of our society must do our part to be disciplined and law abiding. we must do something Good for something good to happen in this country. everybody needs to work hard and be a good citizen. like in singapore we could take them as a model for our country. and we too could advance and prosper if we held together and unite not only as a nation but as a country full of pride and joy.

The election system is a factor to blame, if they replace the old and manual way of voting that can be easily manipulated with computerized voting like in the US then the real winners will be the one in position. Next the system where they put the taxes into, almost all our moves have taxes, we pay tax when we eat at a fastfood or buy something from a store, but how many percent of those taxes really go to education, roads, hospitals? It's obvious that is corrupt politicians continue to manipulate the election system, our country will continue going downhill.
