An interesting case occurred in South Sulawesi, a resident's car garage was built on half of a public road. The resident's house is located on Rappokalling Raya Street, Lorong Anda, Tammua Village, Tallo District. The 2-story house is right next to the Reformation Toll Road. The parking lot is made of an iron frame with a 3 meter high spandex roof. An iron fence was built around half of the road to the left of the house.[1]

As a result of this parking, the road with a width of around 4 meters can only be passed by motorbike riders. Meanwhile, cars cannot pass, even though this road is connected to the Rappokalling Raya axis road. Tallo Police Chief Commissioner Syamsuardi said that the parking owner admitted that he had been using half of the road for 6 years. Agus relaxed about using public facilities on the grounds that he had never been reprimanded so far.[2]

The Sector Police Chief together with the Tammua Village Head, Binmas and Babinsa have gone to the location to explain to the owner that the parking lot has used the road which is a public facility. The parking lot also disturbs road users because cars cannot pass. "I said I'm sorry, because it has gone viral, can we dismantle it? If you want to do it voluntarily, please do so. We explained that we are using this road, a public facility," he said.[3]

There are regulations that state that anyone who commits an act that disrupts the function of the road within the useful space of the road will be subject to sanctions. This is stated in Law Number 38 of 2004 concerning Roads, Article 63 Paragraph 1.[4] 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.

An Indian woman recently filed for divorce from her husband of just 40 days. She claimed that her husband only showered once or twice per month. The unnamed woman from Agra, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, went to a local family counseling center to complain about her husband's poor personal hygiene. She said that her husband rarely bathed, wore dirty clothes and suffered from bad breath. She could barely stand near the man, let alone be intimate with him. As a result, after only 40 days of marriage, the wife asked for a divorce.[1]

When questioned by the counseling center, the husband, Rajash, admitted that he only bathes once or twice a month and cleans himself by sprinkling Gangajal water (holy water from the Ganges river) once a week. One counselor at a family center in Agra told reporters that the young couple began getting into heated arguments about the husband's hygiene a few weeks after the wedding. Finally, the wife left their household and returned to live with her family. Soon, her family filed a dowry harassment complaint at the local Police Station and asked for a divorce. The abused wife said that Rajash had bathed 6 times in the last 40 days, a little more than usual, but only because she insisted. Hearing the wife's decision to divorce him, the husband promised to improve his hygiene and even bathe every day, but the woman's family said that he did not want to reconcile with her.[2]

As strange as it may sound, this is not the first time a couple's poor hygiene has led to divorce.[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.

4 Big Companies That Went Bankrupt in Indonesia

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Due to Low Sales Product, Tupperware Files for Bankruptcy", "Be Careful Using AI, You Will be in Trouble for Citing Non-existent Jurisprudence", you may read also "5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History" and on this occasion we will discuss about '4 Big Companies That Went Bankrupt in Indonesia'.

Running a business does require careful calculations. If not, any company of any size could go bankrupt. In the past, there were a number of giant companies present in Indonesia. But unfortunately, the company did not last long because it went bankrupt due to a number of reasons. One of the factors that caused a company to go bankrupt was due to large debts. Apart from that, there are several other causes that cause businesses to close down.[1]

So, what are the big companies that went bankrupt in Indonesia?[2]

1. PT. Sariwangi Agricultural Estate Agency (SAEA). PT Sariwangi Agricultural Estate Agency (SAEA) is a tea company that has been established since 1973. This company, which is famous for its tea bag products, was declared bankrupt in 2018. Sariwangi was declared bankrupt because he was unable to pay the credit installments owed to Bank ICBC Indonesia. It is known that Sariwangi's total debt to ICBC Bank at that time reached US$ 20,505,166 or around IDR. 316 billion. Unilever itself only bought the Sariwangi brand, not the company, in 1989. Even though it is the holder of the Sariwangi brand, Unilever still sources supplies from SAEA.
2. Nyonya Meneer. Nyonya Meneer is a well-known herbal medicine company in Indonesia. Even though her business is already big, unfortunately, Nyonya Meneer was declared bankrupt by the Semarang District Court (PN) in 2017. There are a number of factors that cause Nyonya Meneer's business to falter, ranging from internal disputes in the successor family, a very large debt burden, to a lack of innovation in its products. On June 8 2015, the Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) between debtors and 35 creditors was declared valid by a judge at the Semarang Commercial Court. In this case, Hendrianto Bambang Santoso, who is one of the creditors from Sukoharjo, is suing Nyonya Meneer for bankruptcy because she did not settle the debt according to the peace proposal. Hendrianto only received IDR 118 million of the total debt of IDR 7.04 billion.
3. 7-Eleven. For young people in Jakarta, of course they are familiar with 7-Eleven or often called 'Sevel'. This convenience store was very famous in the 2010s because it served various foods and drinks, one of which was Slurpee. But unfortunately, Sevel did not last long in Indonesia. In 2017, 7-Eleven was officially declared bankrupt. The subsidiary of PT Modern Internasional Tbk (MDRN) closed all Sevel outlets in Indonesia. The main reason is because of the large operational costs that must be incurred.
4. Kodak. For those of you who love photography, you are certainly familiar with this brand. Kodak has been around since 1892 and is one of the pioneers in the photography industry. Unfortunately, Kodak's big name had to disappear because it was officially declared bankrupt in 2012. Kodak was unable to compete with competitors who offered digital products amidst very rapid technological advances. Apart from that, Kodak is also reluctant to innovate for its business in order to make a profit.

Tupperware Brands Corp filed for bankruptcy after the famous by colorful food box company experienced a decline in sales. The brand from the United States (US) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday (17/9/2024). Not only that, several subsidiaries included in Tupperware Brands Corp are also included in bankruptcy protection. Tupperware's business journey had been stumbling in the last few years before the pandemic. However, the company recovered due to the Covid-19 pandemic, when some people decided to stay at home and this increased demand for airtight plastic containers.[1]

One of the reasons Tupperware went bankrupt was the surge in raw material costs, such as plastic receipts, labor costs, product delivery. This puts pressure on the profit margins of the food box manufacturers. Tupperware Brands Corp CEO Laurie Ann Goldman said Tupperware plans to file for bankruptcy protection after violating debt terms and seeking help from legal and financial advisors. "Over the last few years, the company's financial position has been greatly affected by the challenging macroeconomic environment," he said, quoted from an official statement, Wednesday (18/9/2024).[2]

Based on the bankruptcy filing in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Tupparware listed assets worth US$ 500 million to US$ 1 billion and liabilities worth US$ 1 billion to US$ 10 billion. Tupperware has continued to try to turn around its business situation over the last four years, after reporting sales declines for six consecutive quarters, since the third quarter of 2021. This decline occurred due to high inflation, which continues to weaken low-income and middle-class consumers. In 2023, Tupperware completed an agreement with lenders to restructure debt obligations and signed investment bank Moelis & Co to assist in the exploration of strategic alternatives.[3]

Tupperware is also closing its only US factory in 2024, located in South Carolina. This closure resulted in the termination of employment (PHK) of 148 people. The Tupparware brand, which was founded in 1946 or is 78 years old, has become a brand in world households. However, the brand is now less popular among young consumers. This is one of the reasons for the decline in demand for these legendary food boxes.[4] 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.

Decades ago there was a robbery of 960 kilograms of gold. However, the action was finally revealed to the public. The incident known as the Nakamura Affair occurred in 1946. It involved massive embezzlement at state pawnshops. At that time, historian Ben Anderson in Pemoeda Revolution (2018) said that the center of centralization of assets during the Japanese occupation was at the Pegadaian (red. Pawnshop) office on Kramat Street, Central Jakarta. Inside there were hundreds of kilos of gold, money and other valuables.[1]

In fact, Japan wanted to move all the goods from the local pawnshop to the Kramat street pawnshop. However, Japan finally left their homeland, leaving this treasure untouched. Supposedly, the property belonged to Indonesia in accordance with the laws of war. However, it turns out that Captain Hiroshi Nakamura thought of something else to steal it, said Vincent Houben in Histories of Scale. This reckless action was supported by his superior, Colonel Nomura Akura. Nakamura took a truck to Kramat Street to steal 960 kg of gold worth 10 to 80 million guilders. He divided the stolen profits to be stored at the house of his mistress Carla Wolff and the garden of a Chinese businessman. However, it was Carla's lifestyle that finally made Nakamura's actions discovered.[2]

Carla likes to show off and squander her wealth. He even said he was richer than the Queen of the Netherlands. "I am richer than the Queen of the Netherlands. I will sleep on a gold bed and the guests will eat from gold plates," said Carla. This is what made Dutch and British intelligence representatives suspicious. Intel was curious about the origin of his wealth and conducted an investigation. They knew the treasure was stolen. Instead of reporting, they took 20 kg of gold. However, the actions of Nakamura, Carla, Nomura Akira and two intelligence officers were discovered and detained by the Dutch government. Nakamura received the heaviest sentence while Carla was sentenced to 8 months in prison.[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.

Land is a property asset that has a fairly high value and will increase over time. Therefore, many people start buying land before building a residence so that it can become an investment tool in the future. You should discuss the process of buying land as soon as possible with the previous owner so that you can change the name of the land owner to your name so that you don't have problems in the future. However, what if you want to buy land for a house but haven't had time to change the name because the previous land owner has died? The following is how to change the name of a land certificate if the previous owner has died.[1]

Transfer of land rights in conditions like this can be submitted to ATR/BPN and registered in accordance with Article 42 of Government Regulation no. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration regarding the Transfer of Rights due to Inheritance by preparing complete files in the form of documents and application requirements.[2]

Documents required include a certificate of the rights concerned, a death certificate of the person whose name is recorded as the holder of the rights, and a letter of proof as an heir. If you are the only beneficiary of the inheritance, then registration of the transfer of rights is carried out based on a letter of proof of being the heir.[3]

However, if you are not the only recipient of the inheritance or more than one, then you need a certificate of heirship and a deed of distribution of inheritance. A Certificate of Inheritance (Proof of Heirship) and a Deed of Distribution of Inheritance to have legal force are made before an Authorized Official, and a Determination Application can also be submitted to the Religious Court or District Court (according to the religion of the Heir and Heir).[4]

There are times when land that has been traded is not immediately transferred to the name of the certificate and is only taken care of when the original owner has passed away. In such cases, the process of changing the name is carried out in stages. The first stage is transferring the name to the heirs. Next, the land certificate which has been reversed becomes the name of the heir, then the name is reversed again to be in the name of the buyer.[5] 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 first two digits (10) are the provincial code number; 
• The second two digits (15) are the district/city code number; 
• The third two digits (22) are the sub-district code number; 
• The fourth two digits (05) are the sub-district/village code number; 
• The next one digit (3) is the code or identification number for property rights; and 
• The last five digits (01234) are a unique code that indicates land ownership rights.

The location of the land certificate number can be seen at the bottom of this important document. This number has been assigned in accordance with a special order issued by the Ministry of ATR/BPN. Meanwhile, the number listed under the 'Garuda' logo is the rights number or number on the Ownership Rights Certificate (SHM) and Building Use Rights Certificate (SHGB).[4] 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 resident died after eating rice noodles (Kwetiau) at a shop in Taiwan. This incident started when dozens of people fell ill after eating at the shop. A media report reported that many customers at Polam Kopitiam fell ill after eating there. It is known that Polam Kopitiam is a restaurant that serves dishes from Malaysia and is quite popular in Taiwan. This restaurant is famous for its delicious vegetarian menus, unfortunately the shocking news came from this outlet. The Deputy Minister of Health and Welfare confirmed that mass food poisoning occurred at Polam Kopitiam, Xinyi, Taiwan. It was also recorded that at least 35 people became ill after eating there in the period 18 - 24 March.[1]

A total of 4 people were even rushed to the ICU to get more serious help. The latest news is that patients who are in the ICU can no longer have their lives saved. Based on preliminary investigation data, it is suspected that there is 'bongkrek' acid contamination in the food at this restaurant. 'Bongkrek' acid is a poison that can attack the respiratory tract.[2]

'Bongkrek' acid is not only produced by chemical solutions, but can also be formed from fermentation of coconut or corn. One of the recorded fatalities was a 40 year old woman. This customer is said to have fallen ill after eating kwetiau and when he returned home he experienced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and severe diarrhea.

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Now, Foreign Citizens Can Buy Property in Indonesia With Just a Passport", "What is the difference between Cultivation Rights (HGU), Building Use Rights (HGB) and Property Rights (SHM)?", you may read also "Term and Conditions for Foreign Citizens to Buy an Apartments in Indonesia" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'This Is What Will Happen If Your Land Use Rights Expire'.

Based on Law number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Regulations (UUPA), building use rights are the right to construct and own buildings on land that is not one's own for a maximum period of 30 years. Meanwhile, this time period can be extended to a maximum of 20 years.[1]

If the HGB holder no longer meets the requirements, within a period of one year he is obliged to release or transfer the HGB to a party who meets the requirements. If this is not done, then this right is legally extinguished. There are several things that cause the loss or deletion of HGB. Based on Government Regulation Number 18 of 2021 article 46, here are the reasons:[2]

1. The expiration of the period as stipulated in the decision to grant, extend or renew the rights.
2. The right is canceled by the Minister before the period ends because: (a). Failure to fulfill the provisions of obligations and/or prohibitions for rights holders. (b). Failure to fulfill the conditions or obligations contained in the HGB grant agreement between the HGB holder and the owner of the ownership rights or the land utilization agreement with Management Rights. (c). Administrative defects, or (d). The court decision has obtained permanent legal force.
3. Changed the right to another land right.
4. Released voluntarily by the rights holder before the term expires.
5. Released for public interest.
6. Revoked by law.
7. Designated as Abandoned Land.
8. Designated as Desolate Land.
9. Expiration of the agreement granting rights or land use agreement for HGB over ownership rights or management rights.
10. The rights holder no longer meets the requirements as a rights subject.

As additional information, this HGB can be transferred and transferred to other people. Please note, those who can own HGB are Indonesian citizens (WNI) and legal entities established according to Indonesian law and located in Indonesia.[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.

Now, Foreign Citizens Can Buy Property in Indonesia With Just a Passport

The new policy of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (Kemen ATR/BPN) means that foreigners can now buy property in Bali and other areas. The Bali Regional Office (Kanwil) of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights stated that all foreigners can buy and own property in Bali. This applies to foreigners holding all types of residence permits. "Yes, all types of residence permits are permitted. (Including Visa on Arrival)," said Head of the Bali Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, Anggiat Napitupulu.[1]

Anggiat explained that property ownership by foreigners in Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia is not dependent on the type of residence permit. However, there will still be restrictions, such as the type and price of property that foreigners can buy. The ATR/BPN Ministry will have the authority to determine the type and price of property for foreigners in Indonesia. Therefore, Anggiat believes that the property ownership policy for foreigners does not need to cause concern.[2]

"I think this is okay. Because the foreigner still has to have a residence permit when making a transaction. And ownership of the transaction will not determine the type of immigration residence permit," explained Anggiat. Based on the Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency Number 1241/SK-HK.02/IX/2022 concerning Acquisition of Residential/Residential House Prices for Foreigners, there are various minimum housing prices that can be purchased by foreigners, depending on the region.[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.

Fees That Must Be Paid When Renting an Apartment in Indonesia

In general, Indonesian people's understanding of rental houses is that they just have to pay the rental fee and then they can live in it straight away, but in reality this is not the case. In some rental houses, residents also have to pay for several other facilities, such as cleaning, electricity, water, and so on. Meanwhile, apartments are a type of rental house with far more complete facilities compared to boarding houses or rented houses. So what costs must be paid if we want to rent an apartment?[1]

Fees That Must be Paid When Renting an Apartment

According to Colliers Property Observer, Steve Sudijanto, apartment rental costs have 3 main components, namely: apartment rental costs, building service costs, and daily needs such as electricity, water, parking and so on.[2]

"There are 3 components to the cost of renting an apartment, the first is apartment rental, the second is service charge or building maintenance, and the last is electricity with building management rates, parking and water," explained Steve. Steve also explained that parking fees in apartments are of course mandatory to pay attention to, because these fees are not cheap and there are various types. Usually apartments provide 2 types of parking fees, reserve parking and non-reserve parking.[3]

Who Will Responsible for Damaged Apartment Facilities?

Property Development & Investment Specialist, Anton Sitorus said, there are two types of damage, if the damage occurs before the handover process, then the damage is entirely the responsibility of the developer, this is different from damage that occurs when the occupant has occupied the room after a long time.[4]

"If the damage is caused by us using it, it is not borne by the management. However, if the structural damage is not due to our own use or is simply an error by the building contractor, it can be claimed and reported to the management. Regarding who will cover it later, it depends on negotiations." Anton answered. Anton also appealed to prospective buyers to check the condition of the apartment before signing the agreement and handover letter.[5] 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.

There's scary news for concert fans. The Ticketmaster concert ticket website was recently hacked by hackers, and the data of 560 million users was stolen. A hacker group called 'ShinyHunters' admitted its actions in an online forum. They said the stolen data included names, addresses, telephone numbers and some credit card details of Ticketmaster customers. This data is reportedly being sold for USD 500 thousand or around IDR 8.1 billion.[1]

The Australian government has checked this news and the FBI has also stepped in to help with the investigation. The Australian Department of Home Affairs is urging people with questions regarding this incident to contact Ticketmaster directly. Until now, Ticketmaster and Live Nation (its parent company) have not provided an official statement regarding this data leak. The authenticity of the data sold by ShinyHunters is still uncertain.[2]

This incident is predicted to impact around 2 million Australians and possibly foreigners, perhaps including Indonesian citizens, who have purchased tickets on this platform. Just in case, you can check your banking activities. If there is something suspicious, immediately block your credit card registered with Ticketmaster. Hopefully your data is safe![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.

Immodestly Dressed Tourists Anger Local People

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Benefits of Using an Indonesian Bridging Visa", "Foreign Tourists Working Illegally in Bali", you may read also "Indonesia Launches Second Home Visa" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Immodestly Dressed Tourists Anger Local People'.

A tourist makes local Spanish citizens angry. He casually walked along the highway wearing only a drawstring. The identity of the tourist who made local Spanish citizens angry is still unknown, but it is thought to be a British tourist. He passed through Palma Street, which is known to be busy, wearing only a tight green drawstring. The photo that was widely discussed was shared by Pedro, a resident of Llucmajor, Municipality in Majorca, Spain. A man is seen wearing black sports shoes, black socks and green tights.[1]

He held a red towel in one hand and a cell phone in the other. The man was seen walking along the Golden Mile shops in Palma, surrounded by dozens of people in the Jaume III area. The man just casually walked, even though many eyes were focused on his striking appearance. Many people expressed their annoyance and asked the authorities to arrest this man.[2]

In fact, tourist operators in Spain are fed up with the arbitrary behavior of British tourists and tourists from other countries in their places. "It's very bad. It's all about drinking and partying. There are no families. We need more families. It's all about the culture of drinking and partying," said Sergio Taltavul, whose family owns the Casa Diego restaurant in Magaluf. He added that authorities need to implement stricter rules regarding liquor regulations. Currently, tourists partying in the Majorcan regions of Palma, Llucmajor and Magaluf as well as San Antonio in Ibiza will be fined between 500 euros and 1,500 euros if they make noise in the neighborhood and disturb others.[3]

Italian Ariana Riesquo-Tomos, who has run the pizzeria with her husband for ten years, said how disturbing it was for British tourists coming to the island. "Most of this island is just for tourism. The British come here for the alcohol and chaos that we offer here in Majorca," he said. This island is actually beautiful, but drunk tourists tarnish the beauty of Majorca's tourism.[4]

According to the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Kantor Luar Negeri, Persemakmuran, dan Pembangunan Inggris), being on the streets wearing just a bikini or swimming trunks is illegal in some parts of Spain. The department added that there are fines for those who violate this rule.[5] 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.

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "What is a Bridging Visa?", "Golden Visa and Possible Implementation in Indonesia", you may read also "Indonesia Sport, Music and Art Visa, What Are They?" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Benefits of Using an Indonesian Bridging Visa'.

Bridging Visas are regulated in Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation (Permenkumham) Number 11 of 2024 which was ratified on April 1 2024. This Transitional Residence Permit or what is also known as a 'Bridging Visa' is a 'bridge' between a previous residence permit and obtaining a new residence permit.[1]

The validity period of the Transitional Stay Permit is 60 days and is only onshore, namely for foreigners who are already in Indonesian territory. This residence permit is no longer valid if the foreigner leaves Indonesian territory. This stay permit can be used by foreigners who will apply for a change of status to ITAS (Limited Stay Permit).[2]

So what are the main advantages when we use this visa? Referring to the previous provisions, foreigners whose residence permits have expired must leave Indonesian territory first in order to obtain an extension of their residence permits. According to this Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation (Permenkumham), it is possible for foreign citizens holding a Visit Stay Permit (ITK) to obtain a Limited Stay Permit (ITAS) without having to leave Indonesian territory. The same thing also applies to ITAS and Permanent Stay Permit (ITAP) holders who can no longer be extended. They can obtain a new residence permit without having to leave Indonesian territory.[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.
