安於現狀

It's really not easy to put good Chinese characters for this expression. That's a suggestion looking handsome in my eyes. BTW, I would rather believe that what you need for the language viriant is Traditional Chinese, as Cantonese is only in sense of Spoken language...

Plz see following for ref.

agree LJX : Depending on the context of the source, one alternative could be “苟且偷安” which captures the negative meaning implied by “corrupted”.
