<![CDATA[This research aims to synthesise citizen’s perspectives on anti fraud measures that are currently implemented in the Indonesian public services sector. In this sector, various measures to eradicate fraud/corruption have been initiated by the government despite the fact that such practices are still apparent. Two research questions were proposed; first, what are Indonesian citizens’ perspectives on the anti fraud/corruption efforts implemented by the government, in the Indonesian public services sector during the last three years? Second, according to their perspective, which approach on anti fraud/corruption measure that is considered as the most effective way to eradicate fraud and corruption?. Using questionnaires, the research collect responses from 188 respondents – Indonesian citizen older than 21 years old - in 5 cities in Indonesia. The respondents perceive that despite of its low improvement on corruption level, as reflected by the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score, the anti fraud/anti corruption measures implemented in the Indonesian public service sector are well progressing. The research also reveals that despite of currently low public participation in anti fraud/anti corruption measures, three factors i.e. consistent law enforcement, engaging public participation and implementing information and communication technology (ICT) are perceived as the most effective measures in anti fraud/anti corruption effort. Understanding the importance of those avenues will provide imperative emphasis in designing, formulating and evaluating anti fraud/anti corruption measures, particularly in the Indonesian public services sector. This will in turn provide necessary support for the government to achieve a positive and sustainable economic growth.]]>
