JAKARTA Memories of today, eight years ago, March 21, 2017, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Susi Pudjiastuti, made a scene in cyberspace through her eccentric actions. Susi casually rides a patwal car like the police around the beach greeting residents of Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi.

Previously, Susi was known as a eccentric minister. Various actions often caught the public's attention. His actions did not escape the mass media. His actions when blusukan often provoked attention. Susi once rode a 'male' motorbike without a helmet.

Susi's presence as one of the ministers in the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) government brought a new color. He is often highlighted by the mass media. The highlight arose because Susi was a woman. However, his guts in running the government were not inferior to male leaders.

His leadership at the KKP cannot be underestimated. Susi had a dream so that Indonesia's marine wealth could be fully used for the prosperity of the people. An ideal that is in line with the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. Susi's strong desire made Susi take a bold step.

Foreign fishing thieves are not given room to operate in Indonesia. The ship, with Jokowi's permission, was immediately sunk. The sinking of the ship made him often mentioned as a brave leader.

Susi is not always popular because of her bold policies. He is also known for his eccentric actions. The eccentric action -- sometimes wrapped in simplicity goes viral everywhere. Take for example when Minister Susi visited Berau, North Kalimantan.

Susi spontaneously uses a 'male' motorbike without wearing a helmet around Berau on November 20, 2014. Susi while breaking the chain that state officials should not be greeted with luxury during visits to the regions.

Susi also appeared different. The action attracted attention and was popular in the mass media and cyberspace. The narrative made Susi's next eccentric action eagerly awaited.

"My photos, accompanied by the Director General of KP3K, Sudirman Saad and the Regent of Berau, Makmur HAPK, held a visit to SMK-Frictions, had a dialogue with fishermen to provide Capital Assistance to Lumpok Fishermen at Tanjung Batu-Berau port," wrote Susi Pundjiastuti in a photo caption on her motorbike without a helmet on her Facebook page as quoted on the tribunnews.com page, November 20, 2014.

Susi's eccentric action did not stop in the following years. Susi seems to always have a way to attract the attention of many people. Take for example when she visited Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi on March 21, 2017.

Susi kepincut wants to immediately tour the coast in Kolaka. Susi initially wanted to use a motorbike. However, the desire was dashed due to back pain. Finally Susi saw a police escort car in an open tub.

He then chose to go around with a police escort car like open. Residents of Kolaka who saw Susi were hysterical and excited. They did not expect the Minister of KKP, who was popular with his action of drowning a foreign ship sitting behind a pickup truck.

The KKP Ministry immortalized the action via the Twitter account @kkpgoid. Susi's photos went around in a patwal car with the Kolaka Regent, Ahmad Syafei became excited in cyberspace. Many netizens support Susi's action which shows simplicity and eccentricity.

Because he was tired of waiting, the boss (Susi) finally asked for a walk on the beach first. When he arrived at the lobby, the boss asked to go around on a motorbike, which I finally advised him not to remember that he was in a back pain (due to wrong movement to raise his grandson).

"I joked: just get in a sedan, ma'am. The boss didn't want to. But when he looked to the right and saw the car with an open hood, the boss immediately said: just get on this one," said Susi's personal assistant, Fika Fawzia on the twitter / X account @ ffawzia07 a few days later, March 28, 2017.
