[00:00:00]Hey, quick question. Would you pay 50 ringgit to skip a queue?

[00:00:05]>> [music] >> Some say yes, some say no, >> [music] >> but let's think about it.

[00:00:13]>> Bribery is something many people think will only happen on dates [music] or big companies, but in reality, it can happen anywhere.

[00:00:19]Workplaces, schools, driving tests, and even in daily life.

[00:00:23]>> [music] >> Sometimes, it starts small. A favor, a gift, a loan money. But when unfair advantages become normal, honesty slowly disappears.

[00:00:32]>> Today, [music] we ask people what they think about bribery, whether they've seen it happen, or and how we can stop it.

[00:00:38]>> [music] >> When people think of the word bribery, many immediately think of politician or huge scandals shown on news, but bribery can often happen in everyday situations.

[00:00:49]It can happen when someone gives you money, giving gifts, [music] or even special treatment in order to influence a decision made.

[00:00:57]>> For example, paying someone to pass a driving test, offering money to avoid punishment, >> [music] >> giving expensive gifts to receive special treatment, >> [music] >> or using connections to unfairly gain opportunities.

[00:01:22]Even small actions can still [music] be considered corruption when they create unfair advantages.

[00:01:27]>> Some people excuse bribery by saying, >> Everybody does it.

[00:01:32]>> It's only a small favor.

[00:01:34]>> It says that.

[00:01:36]>> But when society accepts dishonesty as normal, fairness slowly disappears.

[00:01:41]People who have no heart or honesty would lose opportunities [music] to those who cheat.

[00:01:46]>> And over time, trust in schools, workplaces, and even governments become weaker.

[00:01:52]That is why understanding bribery is important, because [music] corruption does not usually begin with huge crimes.

[00:01:58]Sometimes it begins with one small ethical decision.

[00:02:03]>> [music] >> Uh, what is your name and occupation?

[00:02:13]>> So, my name is Zahin Ashraf. I'm a student at Taylor's University.

[00:02:33]>> I'm 20.

[00:02:34]>> What does corruption mean to you?

[00:02:36]>> Uh, corruption I think it means like abuse [music] of power or position or trust and especially for personal >> We all know corruption means bribing.

[00:02:48]The simple term is bribing. So, anyone in this world can actually experience corruption.

[00:02:54]>> I think corruption is basically like people like individual things that should be done to get their way like what they want.

[00:03:04]>> Uh, for me corruption means when people have money and power are using it to to make something illegal.

[00:03:11]>> Corruption to me is entrusting someone with power and then abusing it for [music] their own personal benefit.

[00:03:18]>> If you were ever offered a bribe, would you accept it? Why or why not?

[00:03:22]>> No, accepting a bribe which would lead to an unethical end of the agreement.

[00:03:27]>> What if your family or friends, boss, mates, or colleagues ask you to do something unethical?

[00:03:33]>> I would probably say no because like doing bad things may cause more problems in the future.

[00:03:40]>> Have you ever stayed silent about something unethical? Yes or no?

[00:03:45]>> Um, yes because >> Why?

[00:03:50]>> Uh, who do you think is responsible for corruption? The individuals or the system?

[00:03:54]>> Uh, >> think both play a part.

[00:03:55]>> I think it's the individuals, all of [music] us.

[00:03:58]Stop corruption and their core values.

[00:04:01]Not everyone has the same values or the same morals.

[00:04:04]And sometimes our system is against certain people, so sometimes [music] the system is for the rich and not for the poor.

[00:04:10]>> If you could send one message to people involved in corruption, what would it be?

[00:04:14]>> And stop using corruption as a tool for you to be successful.

[00:04:20]>> Many students turn to bribery because of pressure like obtaining scholarships, meeting family expectations, and fear of failure.

[00:04:27]>> To overcome this, students must first recognize that pressure is normal, but making unethical choices have serious consequences.

[00:04:34]>> Bribery can lead to expulsion, loss of opportunity, and long-term damage to a student's reputation.

[00:04:41]>> Say no to >> Say no to bribery.
