1. Corruption Cases

"In the year 2025, from my legal perspective, I see many revelations of corruption cases, including the corruption case of Riza Khalid. This is a legal advancement in this country," said Amstrong to reporters on Saturday (1/11/2025) in Jakarta.

One of the most attention-grabbing cases is the collective corruption case involving top celebrity Sandra Dewi, along with her husband, Harvey Moeis. In addition, the phenomenal divorce that occurred between Dedy Corbuzier and his partner also became one of the main highlights this year.

Not only that, the social upheaval occurring in the homeland has also had a direct impact on the celebrities who now hold seats in parliament. Amstrong highlighted the massive demonstrations that took place in various major cities.

The impact of the mob's fury during the demonstrations even extended to the personal realm of the artist-politicians. Several celebrity homes, such as those of Eko Patrio, Uya Kuya, and Ahmad Sahroni, were reported to have been targeted for looting.

This series of events led Amstrong to conclude that Indonesia is in the midst of an ocean of complex legal issues. He assessed that there is a lack of firmness that makes the law seem to have lost its bite.

"This creates an ocean of legal issues occurring in Indonesia, seeing the lack of legal firmness and legislation in this country that allows the law to run wild, commonly referred to as jungle law," said Amstrong.

3. Massive Overhaul

According to his analysis, one of the root problems of this legal chaos is the gap between the intellectual level of law enforcement officials and the understanding of the wider community.

As a solution, Amstrong hopes for a progressive massive overhaul of the legal system in Indonesia. He emphasizes that the law must be the highest commander that governs every aspect of life, without exception.

"The typology of developing countries is indeed like this, the hope is that the law in this country must be reformed progressively, including its officials, so that the law becomes the highest commander in every aspect of life," said legal expert JJ Amstrong Sembiring.
