It's not at any level which might affect the "normal" public.

If I apply for a top university, entry based on merit so I DON'T pay bribe in Uk- in Pakistan pay appropriate bribe to the principle or admission department (various people with their own cuts) to get the entry accepted
If I apply for a any Job: I DON't need to know anyone special in UK- in Pakistan I DO, maybe a "sifarish" of a minister/politician/officer etc...
If I get caught speeding, I pay £60 in fine plus points on license Uk- in Pakistan I pay a few hundred rupees bribe to get away
If I MURDER/RAPE someone in uk I feel the full force of the law in the UK (DNA etc.. hard to get away)-in Pakistan, pay a few lak (100,000) rupees to the appropriate party (not victim) as bribe and the appropriate officer will dismiss the case or not register it.

see what I mean, from top to bottom, corruption. Nothing to do with tips or P&P on purchases. Unless it's acceptable in Islam as service charge.

Can't speak for Arab countries but consider the last example, If someone murders someone all they have to do is give bribe to the chief police inspector of that area to get away scott free.
