(KPK). Once applauded for his anti-corruption stance during his tenure as West Java police chief, over time he became increasingly hostile to the activities of the KPK. According to his critics, he allegedly undermined anti-corruption efforts in Indonesia. On one occasion Duadji met with one Anggoro Widjojo in Singapore at a time that Anggora Widjojo was wanted by KPK for his involvement in a corruption case. This accusation sparked rivalry between Indonesian National Police and the KPK leading to the arrest of two KPK leaders. This arrest in turn touched off a reaction among Indonesian activists due to their concern about moves to weaken the fight against corruption in Indonesia. Most Indonesians view the KPK as more credible than the Indonesian National Police or the Indonesian
