Issues and viewpoints

The government has intensified its efforts at fighting corruption in the past few years, and a number of officials have been punished. The media has reported that some officials have chosen to neglect their duties for various reasons, including a desire to minimize the risk of making mistakes. Comments:

Some officials have failed in their duties for fear of making mistakes, after the top authorities vowed to build a clean government, run under the rule of law. This "non-action" by officials in charge of civil affairs, in particular, has had a direct impact on people's lives. This is a bad trend.
