Here we see Location, Location, Location. In Pakistan we only see Corruption, Corruption, Corruption. I understand corruption is everywhere in the world. But problem in Pakistan is very serious. It is like disease, every one wants in Pakistan to be crore or arab pati without doing any honest hard work.
Only religious organizations in Pakistan are least corrupt and deserve all praise.

ISLAMABAD, Dec 9: Pakistani police have been named as the most frequent recipients of bribes in the 2010 Global Corruption Barometer of the Transparency International published on Thursday.
The Transparency International picked up 11 institutions and services, from health to education to tax authorities, for this year`s global barometer which is based on a worldwide public opinion survey on corruption.
The weighted figure for police was 4.5. (1 is for not at all corrupt and 5 for extremely corrupt).
The second largest recipients of bribery in Pakistan are civil servants (4.2), followed by political parties (4.1), parliament/legislature (4.0), business and private sector (3.8), NGOs (3.8), judiciary (3.6), media (3.3), education system (3.1), military (3.0) and religious bodies (2.8).
At the global level, the lists are topped by political parties, with non-governmental organisations and the military featuring at the bottom. Nonetheless, religious bodies and political parties have registered the biggest increase in perceived corruption over time.
Perceptions about NGOs and the private sector have also deteriorated. But public opinion about judiciary has improved; those viewing it as corrupt or extremely corrupt decreased by 10 percentage points.
According to the barometer, 73 per cent of the population surveyed assessed that the Pakistani government had been ineffective in fighting corruption, while 77 per cent were of the view that the level of corruption in the country had increased over the past three years.
Corruption has increased over the last three years, say six of 10 people around the world, and one in four people report paying bribes in the last year.
The findings were released to mark the International Anti-Corruption Day by Transparency International on Thursday.
Views on corruption trends are most negative in Europe and North America, where 73 per cent and 67 per cent, respectively, think corruption has increased over the past three years.
Despite these results, the survey also found that seven out of 10 people would be willing to report an incident of corruption.
The Global Corruption Barometer surveyed more than 91,000 people in 86 countries and territories. It focussed on petty bribery, perceptions of public institutions and views of whom people trust to combat corruption.
