Miserly corrupt official

葛朗台式贪官(gelangtai shi tanguan)

Zhu Dongsheng, former director of a government division of Zhenjiang, East China's Jiangsu province, is under investigation for corruption. Zhu is extraordinarily thrifty in everyday life, making a 2-hour bus journey to the countryside to buy soy products. However, he took advantage of his approval authority to take bribes of more than 1.95 million yuan ($314,000), and he has been called a "miserly corrupt official" by the media.
