- Abstract
Criminal act of Corruption is an extraordinary and complex crime that aims to enrich oneself and/or others. Whereas; the culture of Siri’ is one of the ancestral heritages which is considered a guideline in carrying out daily life; this culture originates from the South Sulawesi Province. The culture of Siri’ can be interpreted as the culture of shame or self-esteem. The value of Siri’ has actually been embedded in each individual since he was born until he died. However; many individuals no longer prioritize Siri’ in carrying out their daily activities. In this paper; the important issue is whether Siri’ can become an instrument in preventing corruption in Indonesia. The research method used in this paper is a normative method; using various approaches; namely the legislative approach; and the concept approach; the research also used primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the research show that currently many perpetrators of criminal act of corruption no longer have a value of Siri’ (shame); as evidenced by the many cases of corruption in Indonesia. Greed; needs; and opportunities are the main factors that cause corruption. That the value of Siri’ greatly influences the value of corruption. The greater value of Siri’ a person has; the less likely corruption will occur.
