DENPASAR, Indonesia, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Indonesian President Megawati Soekarnoputri said Thursday human rights concerns are limiting her fight against corruption, collusion and nepotism.
The Antara news agency reported Soekarnoputri told an audience in Denpasar, Bali, "If I say someone is committing corruption, then I 'kill' him (and) I am sure I will be regarded as the Indonesian president who has violated the principles of human rights,"
She was commenting on a political observer's statement that in fighting corruption, the president should follow the Chinese government's lead.
However, Antra said the president explained the working system in China is totally different from that in Indonesia: "In China, if a leader says 'A,' all the levels would say the same thing. However here, in the reform era, could we do the same?"
