    From a latest report, the price has now increased to Rp100 million to secure a job in the police force. While this practice continues, the government can only pay lip-service to eradicating corruption.

    Some police officers are finding ways of making money without distorting it illegally, like this guy who is now a celebrity.

    Ooh... I had no idea. Just thought it was dangdut. I guess it does sound Indian rather than Arabic, now that I think about it.

    So now our singing policeman has a name - Norman Camaru (or sometimes Noorman) - Google him and you will find plenty - here is one link
    Wow...Briptu Norman Camaru Bersama Luna Maya - Kaskus - The Largest Indonesian Community
    of a forum discussion. Google translate can make sense of the post at the start of this thread - but cannot manage with much of the abbreviated chit chat.

    Al Jazeera just featured him as an ambassador for Indonesian Police, and he has apparently performed on a number of TV programs already - and its only just 2 weeks since the YouTube clip was posted.

    Good luck to him.
