Just put up some figures you want as a CEO and power will ensure no one can refuse the taking and it will be taken with impunity and become no longer corrupt according to our culture.
Durai tried it. He could have got away too but sorry he has not enough power to back up his power take due to change of dynasty.
So we have a culture of the most powerful CEOs taking all they want but the shareholders will be powerless to refuse and will be taken for a ride.
It is a matter of power, manoeuvring and "catch me as you can" or who is more powerful.
Even kindergarten child's mind can be corrupted into believing that such corruption is not corrupt.
Would the crime be discovered had not a plumber 'kapo' 'busybody' 'do-something most of us would not bother to do' if he had not seen the gold tap? I think sometimes, it takes a non-Kia Su, non-KiaSi, Righteous minded, Responsible citizen to Blow that whistle. I think he also non-KiaSai since he went to use the toilet.
Many people are laize faire when it comes to doing things that are not monetarily benefitial to them or it does not affect their family.
That plumber, tho just a plumber did what he thought is morally right . He spoke on behalf of the people, risked law suits and his business/job and went to complain a titan.
without this Righteous-spirited man, how long more and how much more will the people be cheated? No one knows. Put it this way, can anyone in this world dare to step up and assure that there are no cases of corruption, even large-amount corruptions, that are never caught? HP says anything is possible. I buy that. I think there are bound to be cases of huge corruptions that also went uncovered. Maybe many many years ago. Maybe. No one can say there is non.
