JAKARTA: A member of Indonesia’s **toriously corrupt police is to be ho**ured for refusing to accept bribes during his 40-year career, instead scavenging garbage to supplement his meagre salary, an official said on Thursday.
While many countries give awards for police bravery, Indonesian authorities have decided to ho**ur policeman Seladi, 57, after he became a media sensation when the story of his determination **t to accept kickbacks emerged.
The police in Indonesia are considered one of the country’s most graft-ridden institutions. They are accused of regularly extorting bribes from the public, being involved in the ***** trade, and have been embroiled in numerous high-profile corruption cases.
But father-of-three Seladi -- who like many Indonesians goes by only one name -- insists he always refused bribes despite only earning the equivalent of about $400 a month and facing much temptation, as he worked in the department that issued driving licences in the city of Malang, on Java island.
"In the driving licence department, there is a lot of temptation," he told AFP.
"Many people want to give me money or gifts so they can pass their driving test. But I always refused -- my parents taught me **t to take bribes."
He was unable to afford his own house, meaning he had to live with his wife and children at the home of his parents-in-law.
