CPIB give warning...what not to do.

Moviegoers at Golden Village cinemas may have noticed a video clip depicting a man accepting bribes in a KTV lounge just before screenings of The Dark Knight Rises.

The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), which commissioned the advertisement, said that the move to screen the clip during this period was not a result of recent high-profile graft cases.

The bureau told my paper last Wednesday that it decided to screen the video before the latest Batman film - which opened on July 19 - to boost its outreach, as CPIB expects many people to watch the film.

The clip - about how bribes can come in many forms, such as cash and sex - is slated to be screened until the middle of this month.

A CPIB spokesman said the clip is also part of publicity efforts to celebrate its 60th anniversary, and is the first such video to be screened in cinemas here.

The clip is one of three that the CPIB submitted for the International Anti-Corruption Public Service Announcement Video Competition, held in Hong Kong last year.

The competition was organised by the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities, a global anti-graft body with more than 300 organisational members. CPIB's videos came in tops last December, beating those of 28 other international anti-corruption and law-enforcement organisations.

The three videos, inspired by real cases, focus on explaining what corruption is and on correcting common misconceptions.

One clip, which depicts a seafood supplier bribing chefs, highlights that some practices seen as industry traditions might, in fact, be corrupt practices.

Last year, the former owner of Wealthy Seafood Product and Enterprise, Tay Ee Tiong, was jailed 11/2 years for bribing 19 chefs. Four of the chefs were charged in June with receiving kickbacks.

More of such public-education moves can be expected, said CPIB. In the past, its outreach was more targeted and conducted mostly through talks for companies and schools, due to resource constraints.

But in the past year, CPIB has beefed up its resources and manpower, which now stands at about 130 officers.

Ideas that CPIB is exploring include public talks and competitions. And, yes, more public-education videos are expected.

I thought once you pay high salaries, there will be no corruption.

Oops, I am sorry - corruption is a human flaw and will happen everywhere.

Do they have any clip, about how not to, receive hefty property discount from developers, which others purchasing from the same developer do not receive such SPECIAL DISCOUNT'?

Past years CPIB did not work hard at all... Only recently we see corruption cases surfacing on the papers. Blame it on the gambling...

They cannot as neither the developer nor the buyer is charged.

Do they have a clip reminding ppl that if you're a top dog politically in your country and your brother runs a gambling operation, it will never be labelled corrupt?

Corruption is like sex. It is human nature, not human flaw.

Everybody has a price, and can be bought.
