In a bid to shame Indonesia's legions of corrupt politicians, officials, bankers and businessmen, the country's anti-graft agency has come up with a novel solution: a special uniform for the bribers and the bribed. Few details of this proposed dress code for the corrupt have emerged yet, but suggestions include bright colors – preferably pink or orange, so that the offenders stand out from the crowd in prison or in court – or old-fashioned prison stripes. Indonesia Corruption Watch, which tracks graft, has suggested a variation on the scarlet letter, with the person's name, case number, and “detainee of the Corruption Eradication Agency” emblazoned on the back. “When we put a detainee in jail, the detainee will be seen by others,” said M. Jasin, deputy chairman of the agency, who hopes this will embarrass the often unembarrassable.
