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

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Police Arrest 11 People in Connection with Cross-Border Fraud in South Jakarta", "Hermes Sandal Thief Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison by Medan District Court", you may read also "Here are the Differences in Basic Agrarian Rights According to Indonesian Law" and on this occasion we will discuss about '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.
