JAKARTA - Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono opened his voice about the news that he would serve as Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) in the elected presidential cabinet, Prabowo Subianto.

So, how did the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries respond to this?

"No Comment. We are no comment hehehe," Trenggono said with a smile after a press conference at the Indonesia Aquaculture Business Forum 2024 at the Raffles Hotel Jakarta, Monday, April 29.

Trenggono was also reluctant to answer when asked if he had met Prabowo Subianto.

However, on March 21, 2024, he is known to have uploaded a photo containing congratulations to Prabowo and his deputy, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who was officially appointed by the KPU as the winner of the 2024 presidential election.

"This (take care of) lobster first," he continued as he walked away laughing.
