Hooters — the restaurant chain first known for its orange-clad, all-female wait staff and then its chicken wings — filed for bankruptcy, the company announced Monday. But the decades-old brand said it isn’t going anywhere. In the bankruptcy process, the company plans to sell all of its 100 company-owned restaurants to two franchisee groups that operate Hooters locations in the Tampa, Florida, and Chicago areas. The combined group collectively operates a third of the US franchised-owned locations, according to the press release.[1]

The company said it plans to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy in “approximately 90-120 days.” “Today’s announcement marks an important milestone in our efforts to reinforce Hooters’ financial foundation and continue delivering the guest-obsessed hospitality experience and delicious food our customers and communities have come to expect,” said Sal Melilli, chief executive officer of Hooters of America in the release. Hooters filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Texas court, a common route for struggling companies hoping to solve their financial problems through reorganization.[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 real-life incident recently unfolded at a Kopitiam in Seri Kembangan, where a customer shockingly discovered glass shards in their iced coffee. The ordeal was shared in a Serdang community Facebook group, accompanied by photos of the contaminated drink and the police report filed against the establishment.[1]

According to the report, the customer had purchased 5 iced coffees from the kopitiam around 6am on 21 Mar 2025. Upon bringing them home, their child, who was unpacking the drinks, immediately noticed something odd — sharp fragments lurking inside the beverage. To grasp the full extent of the danger, the customer strained the coffee, revealing an alarming pile of glass shards that closely resembled ice cubes. To prove they weren’t mistaken, they even pressed the fragments against the strainer, demonstrating that the pieces were, without a doubt, solid glass.[2]

What made the situation even more unsettling was that some shards were so tiny they settled inconspicuously at the bottom of the glass. Worse still, the contamination wasn’t limited to a single cup — all 5 iced coffees contained glass. The customer attempted to return to the Kopitiam to raise the issue but found it had already closed for the day. Left with no other recourse, they proceeded to file a police report to bring awareness to the matter.[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.

Diana (43) is the mother of Soleh Darmawan (24). Diana explained that her son worked in Cambodia starting from an offer from a job search foundation with an office in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, in mid-February 2025. At that time, Soleh was promised work in the hotel sector in Thailand. Coincidentally, Soleh had been involved in the hotel world for a long time. Soleh then visited the foundation's office on February 17, 2025. Soleh then agreed to work in Thailand. After reaching an agreement, Soleh returned to his residence to ask for his parents' blessing. Exactly on February 18, 2025, Soleh finally left for Thailand by plane even though his mother had forbidden him.[1]

Upon arriving in Thailand, Soleh contacted his mother while reminding her not to worry about him. Within four days, the two of them continued to communicate every day. However, after that, their communication suddenly broke off. During the communication break, Diana was always worried about her son's fate. This worry finally peaked when she was suddenly contacted by a man named Kevin in a video call on the evening of March 2, 2025. In the middle of the conversation, Diana was surprised when the video call camera showed Soleh sitting slumped on the bed. She repeatedly called her son, but Soleh did not respond at all. After that, their conversation ended. On the morning of March 3, 2025, Kevin contacted her again. He informed her that his son had died. The news made her very sad. She immediately asked Kevin to return her son's body.[2]

On March 15, 2025, Soleh's body arrived in Indonesia and was immediately taken to the funeral home. Upon arriving at the funeral home, Diana saw stitches on her son's waist. She thought there was something odd about her son's death. The family gave up. Finally, Soleh was buried on March 16, 2025. The burial was carried out next to his house. In addition, Diana just found out that her son actually worked in Cambodia as an online gambling operator (judol).[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.

Death Row Inmate In Japan Gets IDR 23.9 Billion Compensation

A Japanese man wrongly convicted of murder, who holds the record for the world's longest-serving death row inmate, has been awarded 217 million yen ($1.8 million) in compensation. Last year, the 89-year-old Japanese man was convicted of a murder he did not commit. Former boxer Iwao Hakamada spent four decades in prison for a murder he did not commit. Last year, Hakamada was convicted of the murder of four people in 1966, after a relentless campaign by his sister and others. The compensation represents 12,500 yen ($100) for each day of the more than four decades Hakamada spent behind bars, most of which was on death row with each day potentially being his last. The Shizuoka District Court, in a ruling dated Monday (3/24) as reported by a court spokesperson, ruled that "the plaintiff will be awarded 217,362,500 yen." The same court ruled in September last year that Hakamada was not guilty in a retrial of his case, and that police had destroyed evidence in the case.[1]

Hakamada, the court said at the time, had been subjected to "inhumane interrogation intended to extract a 'confession' from him that he later retracted." The final amount of compensation for Hakamada, according to local media reports, was a record. But Hakamada's legal team said the amount was not enough to make up for the pain he endured during his imprisonment. Hakamada is only the fifth death row inmate to be retried in Japan's post-war history. The four previous cases also resulted in acquittals.[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.

20 Years After Eviction, Karawang Resident Still Pays Property Tax

It has been 20 years since Henny's house and land in Karawang, West Java, were evicted to make way for the construction of a road to the Batujaya bridge. However, to this day, she is still receiving bills and paying property tax (PBB) on the land she no longer occupies. Henny claims that her house and land in Krajan Hamlet, Batujaya Village, were evicted in 2005. She was forced to give up 426 square meters of land for the construction of the Karawang-Bekasi connecting road, despite rejecting the compensation offered by the government.[1]

"I also still pay property tax, the last time in 2024 I also got SPPT (Tax Payable Notification Letter) and I just paid it," said Henny. When she was evicted in 2005, Henny said her land was only valued at IDR 80 thousand per meter. That amount was far from her initial request of IDR 230 thousand per meter. In fact, the payment was made in installments. "On top of that, the payment was also paid in installments by the government. Well, I got evicted and ended up in a mess," she said. Henny also admitted that she had been forced to sign blank receipts three times, without knowing that it meant she had agreed to the payment. "I didn't know, I was a layman. Well, what was it like at that time, signing on the blank form. Well, I just accepted it, if it wasn't accepted my house would be evicted too, it would be leveled with a excavator," she said. "Every night I cried. Many said that I got evicted and ended up in a mess. I've been holding back the pain for 20 years," she said.[2]

Now Henny works as a nanny in Bekasi, while her children live in another house that she slowly built with the help of relatives. She hopes that the Regent of Karawang and the Governor of West Java can pay attention to this case. She is asking for justice and payment of the remaining compensation that is appropriate. This case has entered the court realm, but only as a criminal case against the related official, not a civil case regarding the right to compensation. "I used to be a witness in court, but when the criminal case was the same official, he was caught up in the law. Well, I'm a layman and I don't understand, he said why not try to enter a civil case like that," said Henny.[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.

The Case of the Image of Lord Shiva Being the Background of a Nightclub in Bali

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "21 Illegal Immigrants from Bangladesh Arrested by Immigration Officers in Garut Regency", "Man Causing Trouble at Airport Ends Up in Jail", you may read also "Here's How to Avoid Fraudulent Investments" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'The Case of the Image of Lord Shiva Being the Background of a Nightclub in Bali'.

A nightclub in Bali was caught using Lord Shiva as a background image for a DJ's music performance. Hindus were also angry. A video circulating virally on social media shows one of the nightclubs in Bali using the Lord Shiva as a background while an electronic music performance by a disc jockey (DJ) is taking place. From the video on social media, a nightclub is seen filled with visitors. It is narrated that the club is one of the largest nightclubs in Bali. The sound of the disco music played by the DJ is pounding. The atmosphere is twinkling with red ornaments. A large image and symbol of Lord Shiva are prominent in the background of the DJ's stage.[1] 

The video circulating on social media has prompted the Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PHDI) Bali to prepare a warning letter for the nightclub that is considered to have insulted the Hindu religion. "We will first investigate who it is," said PHDI Bali Secretary Putu Wirata Dwikora. Although the mastermind behind the alleged harassment is not yet known, Wirata emphasized that PHDI Bali has prepared an open warning letter for the perpetrators of the broadcast to clarify.[2]

"Second, we are preparing an open letter first if we don't know who the perpetrator is, we will prepare an open letter," he said firmly. "While we are trying to find out, we don't want to wait too long, we will issue an open summons to whoever the perpetrator is to be responsible so that they can clarify and explain," Wirata added. He conveyed the feelings of Hindus who felt harassed and their beliefs were tarnished because the gods who should be sanctified and worshiped in temples or other holy places were instead placed in inappropriate places. "But we also want to hear what their reasons are for showing it in such a place, is there an acceptable reason. Although we don't judge immediately, Hindus feel harassed, their beliefs are tarnished. But we are open for clarification," Wirata explained.[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.

"This report started with a group of 21 men who were taken by a travel car and wanted to stay at one of the inns located at Karang Paranje Beach, Karyasari Village, Cibalong District, Garut Regency, West Java," said Indra (Head of the Class I Non TPI Tasikmalaya Immigration Office). At that time the innkeeper asked for the identity of the group of guests, but they could not show their identity. This certainly raised suspicion, so that residents took the initiative to report to the Cibalong Police, Garut Regency.[1]

"Following up on the report, the Cibalong Police, Garut Regency, immediately went to the inn and conducted an examination of the 21 men. It turned out to be true so the Police coordinated with us, after we checked further it was true that they were foreign nationals," said Indra. Based on the findings, Indra said that his party was authorized to take administrative immigration action. Until now, 21 Bangladeshi men have been secured in the Tasikmalaya Class Immigration Office Detention Room. They have been included in the travel ban list and will be deported.[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.
