Expressing opinions in public is a human right guaranteed by the Indonesian constitution. Article 28E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that "Everyone has the right to freedom of association, assembly, and expression." However, this freedom is not unlimited. There are legal regulations that ensure the expression of opinions is orderly, safe, and does not violate the rights of others. Some of the legal bases are as follows:

1. Article 28E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution – guarantees freedom of opinion, association, and assembly.
2. Law Number 9 of 1998 concerning Freedom of Expression in Public.
3. The Criminal Code (KUHP) – regulates the prohibition of actions that violate public order, incitement, or hate speech.
4. The Electronic Information and Transactions Law (ITE Law) (Law No. 11 of 2008 in conjunction with Law No. 19 of 2016) – regulates the expression of opinions through electronic media.

According to Law No. 9 of 1998, public expression of opinion can be carried out as follows:

1. Demonstrations;
2. Parades;
3. Public meetings;
4. Free speech.

Regarding the Legal Procedure for Expressing an Opinion so that it is legally valid, there are several steps that need to be taken into account:

1. Notification to the Police: (a). The organizer must notify the local police no later than 3 x 24 hours before the activity; (b). The notification letter contains: purpose, place, time, route, form of activity, and person in charge.
2. Comply with the Time and Place Provisions: (a). May not be carried out in the presidential palace area, places of worship, military installations, hospitals, airports/seaports, stations, terminals, and national vital objects; (b). May only be carried out between 06.00–18.00 local time.
3. Maintaining Order and Not Breaking the Law: (a). Must not carry sharp weapons or dangerous objects; (b). Must not contain hate speech, SARA, or threats of violence; (c). Must respect the rights of others, including public road users.
4. Responsibilities of Organizers and Participants: (a). The person responsible for the activity is obliged to control the course of the action; (b). If a violation of the law occurs, participants or organizers may be held criminally or civilly responsible.

When expressing opinions in public, there are principles that must be upheld. Expressing opinions in public must adhere to:

1. The principle of responsible freedom;
2. Respect the human rights of others;
3. Maintain national unity and integrity;
4. Comply with applicable laws

As a closing statement, the author would like to emphasize that expressing opinions in public is a constitutionally guaranteed right of every citizen, but its implementation must comply with the law to avoid conflict or disturbances. By understanding legal procedures, the public can express their aspirations effectively, peacefully, and within the law.

Two Italian Swimmers Caught Shoplifting, Denied Entry to Singapore

This incident occurred shortly after the two Italian swimmers (names not disclosed) landed. Within a short time, they were caught engaging in an act that tarnished their reputation. The items taken were not disclosed. But under Singaporean law, nominal amounts are never grounds for tolerance.[1]

Singaporean authorities did not detain them in the country. Nor did they pursue the case through lengthy legal proceedings. A firm decision was made: they were barred from entry. The deportation did not need to be publicized, as the social impact of the entry ban was already sufficiently significant. Singapore sent a message that international reputation does not make anyone immune from the law.[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.

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has appointed artificial intelligence (AI) as the "minister" for corruption in his new cabinet. Diella, which means "sun" in Albanian, was appointed to Rama's cabinet. Rama introduced her as "a physically absent cabinet member" who will ensure that "all public tenders are 100 percent corruption-free."[1]

Legal experts believe further legal and ethical review is needed to determine Diella's official status. At last week's inauguration ceremony, Diella was depicted on screen as a woman wearing traditional Albanian clothing.[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 food vendor employee named Bonnie Kimball didn't expect to be fired for providing free lunches. It happened when a high school student ran out of money to buy food. The case occurred at a high school in Mascoma Valley, Canaan, New Hampshire. When Bonnie realized the student's payment account was insufficient, she decided to provide lunch anyway, telling him to tell his mother he was out of money.[1]

The next day, the student did pay the bill. However, the vendor Bonnie worked for fired her for violating school, company, and district rules. Bonnie expressed her deep shame over the incident. Bonnie's story garnered sympathy from parents and the media. Some vendor employees also left in protest. Fresh Picks, the company that fired Bonnie, later reportedly wanted to reinstate her. However, Bonnie declined, stating that the company's offer was only for the sake of fulfilling a contract.[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.
