Good governance need to be improve in Indonesia. I must admit for Corruption Eradication Commission team who had done a remarkable job. Well done!!

Former Bank Indonesia governor Burhanuddin Abdullah stood trial Wednesday for the alleged misappropriation of Rp 100 billion (US$10.8 million) from the central bank, pleading his innocence.

He has been charged with violating Article 2 of the 1999 law against corruption, which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and Rp 1 billion in fines.
