Personal life

Legal case

On 8 March 2015, Muhadkly posted a complaint on his personal blog regarding the facilities at the Green Pramuka City Apartment where he resided. He expressed several grievances, including the developer's unfulfilled promise to convert the apartment area into green open spaces, lack of clarity regarding land certificates, and additional renovation fees charged to residents. On 5 November 2015, Danang Surya Winata, legal counsel for the apartment developer PT Duta Paramindo Sejahtera, reported Muhadkly to the Metro Jaya Regional Police. He was accused of violating Article 27, paragraph 3 of the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), as well as Articles 310 and 311 of the Indonesian Criminal Code regarding defamation.

Muhadkly was summoned by investigators as a witness on 26 April 2017, where he explained the issues he was facing. On 9 June 2017, he was summoned again and named a suspect. Although he attempted to initiate mediation with the developer, he received no response. On 17 July 2017, he complied with a police summons for fingerprinting and suspect photography.

The case concluded after the developer withdrew the police report. Following several meetings between Muhadkly and the management, both parties reached an amicable settlement.
