Corruption in Indonesia is so massive. As of late we are shocked by the corruption of e-ID cards that harm the country up to 2.5T. Can we imagine how many schools can be built with that much money. How many habitable homes can be made for people who can not afford.

Large-scale corruption is prevalent among state officials. Until dragging the name of state institutions. It makes a bad image of state institutions.

Not only institutionalized state, the lower society is often corrupt. Among the students themselves there is often a small scale corruption. Small or big, if it is corruption that has violated the rules.  

Therefore, Valapraja website can be a solution as a medium of corruption prevention. This website is in launching, Monday, (27/11) in aditorium widya sabha usadha medical faculty, Udayana university. Valapraja website is the work of three udayana students, namely Angelina Sellyn Manora Marbun, Gusti Yogiana Prabawsari and Gde Dharma Setiawan, from Sociology Prodi.
