The Jakarta Globe Model and television actress Manohara Odelia Pinot ponders Indonesia's culture of corruption.

Now now, as i read the whole sentences, one sentence struct my mind "I was speaking with a very respectable man the other day. He works in a very high position in one of the biggest banks in Indonesia. I brought up the subject of the Padang earthquake and was telling him how I was happy that TV stations were raising a substantial amount of money ... See Morefor the victims. As I said that, he smiled at my naivete and he then told me that one local station raised Rp 17 billion. How much went to Padang? Rp 3 billion. What happened to the Rp 14 billion? Who knows."
I really need to know who was the person she spoken to, and what TV station that corrupt Rp. 14 Billion of money that supposed to help Padang earthquake victim. Police need to work that out right away i think.
