A couple from Sichuan, China, were arguing over 29 chickens during their divorce proceedings. The husband, surnamed "Yang," and his wife, surnamed "Tu," did not have much wealth. Farming was their primary source of income. They owned a total of 53 animals: 29 chickens, 22 geese, and 2 ducks. The geese and ducks were divided equally. However, the chickens were an odd number and became a point of contention between the couple. Tu claimed he had cared for the chickens the most, thus entitled to the extra one. Yang disagreed, feeling she also contributed to the care of the animals.[1]

Judge Chen Qian ultimately proposed two options. First, the excess chicken should be cooked and eaten together before the divorce was officially finalized. Second, the party who received the chicken would have to pay compensation to the other party. Judge Chen stated that this solution was not only practical but also in line with traditional Chinese values. Ultimately, they chose to eat the chicken together as a farewell meal. They also promised to maintain a cordial relationship and support each other financially if needed.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Eight universities recalled thousands of students participating in Community Service Programs (KKN) in Lumajang, East Java, following a motorcycle theft. The eight universities are the University of Jember, the University of Lumajang, the KH Achmad Shidiq State Islamic University of Jember, the Islamic University of Jember, the PGRI Lumajang Teacher Training College (STKIP PGRI Lumajang), the College of Development Administration, the PGRI Argopuro University of Jember, and the Jember Health Polytechnic. The universities agreed to suspend the KKN program for the safety and well-being of their students.[1]

The students were initially spread across 102 villages in Lumajang Regency to carry out community service (KKN) programs. However, the situation turned tense after four of the students' motorcycles were stolen in two locations. Two motorcycles disappeared from the KKN post in Village Square, Ranuyoso District, while two others disappeared from the post in Tempeh Tengah Village, Tempeh District.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Director of Guidance, Services, and Public Relations at the Directorate General of Taxes (DGT), Rosmauli, admitted that his staff had indeed visited the tailor's home with an official letter. However, this was not to collect, but rather to verify the accuracy of the data to ensure the invoices were correct. "The Head of the Pekalongan Pratama Tax Office (KPP Pratama) emphasized that the purpose of the visit was not to collect, but rather to verify the data in the DGT system," Rosmauli said.[1]

The administrative system recorded a transaction in Ismanto's name worth approximately IDR 2.9 billion. The data, obtained from the Central Tax Directorate General in 2021, indicated that Ismanto's National Identification Number (NIK) was used in a transaction with a company. Therefore, the Tax Directorate General wanted to verify whether the transaction was actually carried out by Ismanto. This step is a standard business process for the Tax Directorate General and complies with applicable regulations.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Professor of law from Padjadjaran University Prof. Ahmad M. Ramli emphasized that the playing of the song Indonesia Raya does not violate copyright because it has been regulated in Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright, Article 43 letter "a". Ramli conveyed this when presented as an expert from the government in the follow-up hearing of the material review of the Copyright Law in Cases Number 28 and 37/PUU-XXIII/2025 in the Plenary Courtroom of the Constitutional Court.[1]

According to Ramli, "Indonesia Raya," as the national anthem, falls under the category of fair use. In this case, fair use is not considered copyright infringement. The former Director General of Intellectual Property stated that the national anthem should be continuously socialized, distributed, and used.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Minister of Law (Menkum) Supratman Andi Agtas emphasized that the granting of amnesty, including to Hasto Kristiyanto and abolition to Tom Lembong, was not for personal reasons. As head of state and head of government, the President is concerned with the nation and state. "I know this is a legal decision, but it has political implications. But once again, the President has a perspective that goes beyond mere political matters; this is for the sake of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," Supratman stated.[1]

Therefore, whether there are parties who agree or disagree with the decision, he stated that this is a dynamic and consequence of democracy. However, the Minister emphasized that the President has very limited but special powers in the judiciary, namely granting clemency, amnesty, abolition, and rehabilitation.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Shi Yongxin Kung Fu Scandal

Shi Yongxin, formerly known as the CEO monk, who successfully commercialized the temple and turned Shaolin into a global brand, offering everything from kung fu tours to merchandise, is now facing a joint investigation by various Chinese law enforcement agencies. He is accused of misusing project funds, embezzling temple assets, and having relationships with numerous women over the years. He even reportedly has a child from one of those relationships. This news first emerged from the temple's official WeChat account, shocking many, especially fans of classic kung fu. This isn't the first time Shi Yongxin's name has been caught up in a scandal. In 2015, he was also accused of similar things, but the investigation at that time declared him innocent. But now, it seems the story is different.[1]

The Chinese Buddhist Association didn't hesitate to revoke Shi's monkhood certificate, accusing Shi of damaging the reputation of the Buddhist community. Shi has yet to comment on this matter. Long before this scandal, many had been observing the transformation of the Shaolin Temple. Shaolin was once known as a center for spiritual training and kung fu. But since Shi Yongxin took control, its image has become more like a franchise. Behind all this, Shi is known as an intelligent but also controversial figure. He entered the temple in 1981 and became abbot in 1999. Many say he brought Shaolin into the modern era. But it turns out there was a moral cost to pay. The image of Shaolin Temple is currently undergoing a major renovation, not only of the building but also of its reputation. So, while we used to watch Shaolin monks meditate for inner peace, the reality now resembles a soap opera.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A member of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR R.I.) highlighted the government's recent increasingly aggressive taxation measures in various sectors. He even revealed that there was talk of levying a tax on recipients of envelopes at weddings and celebrations. "We heard that in the near future, the government will ask for tax on people who receive envelopes at weddings and celebrations," informed during a meeting at the Senayan parliamentary complex in Jakarta.[1]

In response, Rosmauli, Director of Counseling, Services, and Public Relations at the Directorate General of Taxes, emphasized that the information was definitely false and that there were no plans to collect tax on wedding envelopes at the Ministry of Finance's Tax Office. "We need to clarify that there is no new policy from the Tax Office or the government that will specifically collect tax on wedding or wedding envelopes, whether received in person or through digital transfers," Rosmauli said. She  explained that any increase in economic capacity can indeed be taxed. This can include gifts or cash. However, the application does not necessarily apply to all situations. "If the gift is personal, irregular, and not related to employment or business activities, it is not subject to tax and is not a priority for DGT supervision," Rosmauli explained.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A total of 20 Government Employees with Employment Agreements (PPPK) teachers in Blitar Regency, East Java, have filed for divorce within the past six months. Economic issues are suspected to be the cause of these divorce applications.[1] 

"Most PPPK applicants are women, and the average marriage is more than five years old. Furthermore, their husbands or partners are not permanent workers or work in the formal sector, where their income is uncertain. That may also be the cause," said Deni Setiawan, Head of Elementary School Management at the Blitar Regency Education Office. The Blitar Regency Education Office believes this phenomenon of divorce applications requires attention. Therefore, each educational institution is expected to establish synergy and build a harmonious work environment. This is expected to reduce family problems faced by teachers.[2] 

Furthermore, mental strengthening and coaching for teachers will also be intensified. "Our hope is that all teachers can work comfortably so that the learning process with students runs smoothly. We also continue to remind everyone that family is the one who has supported their current profession or career from the start. Don't let yourself become glamorous and forget your closest family," he concluded.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

They believe she received around 385 million baht ($11.9m; £8.8m) over the past three years.[1]

Investigators who searched her house found more than 80,000 photos and videos used to blackmail the monks, the police spokesman said.

Donald Trump Filed a Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Additional Fee Charged for Entering US Regarding 'Integrity'", "Lay off Hits Hundreds of offices and bureaus of US State Department", you may read also "Don't do This When you Travel to Japan" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Donald Trump Filed a Lawsuit Against the Wall Street Journal'.

President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against the publisher of the Wall Street Journal and reporters who wrote a story about a collection of letters gifted to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, including a note bearing Trump’s name and an outline of a naked woman. The lawsuit, which seeks at least $20 billion, is an extraordinary escalation of Trump’s ongoing legal campaign against media companies he views as opponents. Trump has denied that he wrote the note.[1]

In the 18-page filing, Trump’s legal team accuses the Journal’s parent company of engaging in “glaring failures in journalistic ethics and standards of accurate reporting.” The filing notes that the Journal, in its story, did not publish the drawing or the letter that its reporters allege Trump authored. “The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists,” Trump’s lawyer wrote in the lawsuit, which was filed in a federal court in Miami. Trump had threatened to sue almost immediately after the story, which was written by Journal reporters Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo, was published late Thursday afternoon.

Foreign travelers wishing to visit the United States (US) will be subject to a new additional fee of US$250 (approximately IDR 4 million), in addition to visa fees and other immigration dues. This visa integrity fee policy is part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a new law signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025.[1]

This additional fee will take effect in the 2025 US fiscal year, which runs from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025. After that, the amount will be adjusted for inflation. The US Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to increase this fee at any time. This fee is mandatory for all nonimmigrant visa applicants—including tourists (B visas), foreign students (F visas), and temporary workers such as H-1B visa holders. However, those whose visas are denied will not be charged this fee, as payment is made only after the visa is approved.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

More than 1,000 employees of the US State Department have been laid off as part of the Trump administration's efforts to reduce its federal workforce. The involuntary staff reductions included 1,107 civil service and 246 foreign service employees, according to a notice sent to State Department employees on Friday and obtained by CBS News, the BBC's US news partner. More than 1,500 other State Department employees took voluntary departures earlier this year as part of the federal government's massive reorganization effort.[1]

Those fired on Friday worked on issues like countering violent extremism; helping Afghans who fled after the Taliban takeover; educational exchanges; and issues related to women’s rights, refugees and climate change. Hundreds of offices and bureaus are being eliminated or altered as a result of the restructuring that began to be implemented on Friday. The layoff notices, issued via email, came out as Secretary of State Marco Rubio was of Washington, DC, on a flight back from an overseas trip to Malaysia.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Ferrari Loses Trademark Lawsuit in Malaysia Against Local Energy Drink

Ferrari SpA (Ferrari) has lost a trademark dispute against local energy drink brand Sunrise-Mark Sdn Bhd after the High Court ruled that the latter’s “Wee Power” logo was not confusingly similar to Ferrari’s iconic “Prancing Horse” emblem. In a judgment, Judge Adlin Abdul Majid dismissed Ferrari’s challenge to block Sunrise-Mark’s trademark registration, stating that the Italian carmaker’s claims of potential confusion were unfounded.[1]

Ferrari had sought to overturn a decision by the Registrar of Trademarks which dismissed its opposition and allowed Sunrise-Mark’s application for the “Wee Power” trademark, featuring two rearing horses, a large “W”, and the words “Wee Power”. “The plaintiff’s mark is a device mark with one rearing horse while the defendant’s mark contains two rearing horses facing each other,” said Adlin, who found that the marks were visually and conceptually distinct.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The Story of Kodak's Bankruptcy in 2013

Team of Hukumindo

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Case of Blocking US Immigration Officials From Arresting Individuals", "Del Monte Files for US Bankruptcy", you may read also "Bolivia is Struggling With a Risk of Defaulting On Its Foreign Debts" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'The Story of Kodak's Bankruptcy in 2013'.

Kodak is one of the world's most recognized camera manufacturers. This happened after George Eastman, Kodak's founder, invented the modern camera in 1888, which became a milestone in the history of modern photography. The Kodak company became a legend until its rise to fame was halted in 2013 due to bankruptcy.[1]

Eastman is widely known for his success in creating dry plates for photography, eliminating the hassle of carrying chemicals. This dry plate was later patented, leading the bank employee to enter the photography business under the banner of the Eastman Dry Plate Company in 1881. Seven years later, he and William Hall Walker created the modern analog camera called the Kodak. Thanks to Kodak, people no longer had to carry bulky photography equipment; they simply needed a handheld camera.[2]

Unfortunately, Kodak, known for its ingenuity, went bankrupt in 2013. The reason was a failure to innovate, particularly regarding the invention of the digital camera, which has become commonplace today. The next two to three decades saw the world of photography move rapidly. The underrated digital camera emerged, outperforming its analog counterpart. By this point, Kodak had lost ground, as digital cameras had already been invented by other manufacturers. Efforts to innovate had failed. Consequently, this situation exacerbated Kodak's financial difficulties. Ultimately, the legendary company went bankrupt in 2013.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
