JAKARTA Memories of today, seven years ago, April 13, 2017, the face of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Susi Pudjiastuti, who appeared in Japanese comics, caused a stir. Susi was present in the Japanese comic by Takao Saito entitled Golgo 13 was widely discussed because she was uploaded to the Twitter account @iwanpalsu.

Previously, Susi was known to like to sink foreign fishing thieves. The illegal fish hunt is considered detrimental to the country. Indonesian marine products should be able to increase the lives of many people, in fact, enjoyed by many other countries.

Minister Susi is often considered as one of Indonesia's powerful women. His character in leading the Ministry of KPP cannot be underestimated. He wants all abundant marine potentials to increase the lives of the Indonesian people.

This wish was realized by Susi by protecting the Indonesian oceans from illegal fishing from foreign ships. The strategy was also played. Susi then started looking for loopholes in the Law (UU) which legalized the firm action of foreign fishing vessels.

He then found a Law Number 45 of 2009. The law strictly regulates where the government can sink fishing vessels that steal in Indonesian marine areas. The gap in the regulation was packaged by Susi as a proposal to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

He asked Jokowi's opinion to make the regulation a national consensus. Jokowi also agreed. Susi like getting the green light. Whoever steals the fish, is immediately caught.

After that, the ships will be sunk. This attitude made Susi praised and criticized at one time. The majority of the Indonesian people fully support Susi's move to sink the ship since becoming the Minister of KPP.

Those who counter mostly come from politicians and officials. Susi's actions are often seen as a detrimental step. This is because the ships are better used than destroyed. Susi also considers the wind as all criticism. He continued with his agenda of sinking foreign fishing thieves.

I said Mr. Rizal Ramli was controversial, that's okay. Our country is also full of controversy, at sea too. Mr. Darmin said Indonesia doesn't have enough ships, so it's better to buy more used ships at low prices.

"I don't agree. I told the President and everything. So far my policy has succeeded in increasing fishery growth in Indonesia, so let me run my policy. Finally, the President agreed," said Susi as quoted by Kumparan, October 19, 2018.

Susi's courage to submerge fishing thieves actually inspired many people. Komikus Takao Saito even presented the figure of Susi in his work Golgo with 13 volume 185 which was published on December 13, 2016.

The description of the figure of Minister Susi was also revealed by the Twitter account @iwanfalsu on April 13, 2017. The virtual world was hit by a commotion. All because Susi's figure in his conversation was doing something identical to her teaching and sinking of the ship.

The figure is in the middle of exploring ships that do illegal things. Susi also responded to a tweet explaining the meaning of Japanese in the comic. Initially, Susi thought that the contents of the comic contained her being bullied. However, it turned out that the contents were in accordance with the behavior of Susi's life.

"Ahhh now I just understand what it is. At first I thought it was being bullied again. But it turned out to be ok. Proud of Indonesia," said Susi on her Twitter @susipudjiastuti, April 13, 2017.
