New Indonesian President says He will Pardon People who Stole Public Money if They Return it

The new President of South Asian nation Indonesia, President Prabowo Subianto, has said that he would pardon people who have stolen public money if they return the money. Subianto said so in Cairo during his visit to Egypt on Wednesday.

According to reports of news organisations, Indonesia has been under a phase of corruption in public fund. After Subianto came to power in October this year, he has promised his countrymen to clean the country of corruption. Though Subianto did not give much details of his plan, he maintained that his government might make ways for the people who have stolen public fund to silently return the money without much a fuss.

Indonesia is one of the emerging market economies in the world and the largest in Southeast Asia. As an upper-middle income country and member of the G20, Indonesia is classified as a newly industrialized country, and is one of the world's main suppliers of rubber, coffee, cocoa, and palm oil.
