JAKARTA - The 2022 Mandalika MotoGP is a magnet for various professions. They came to watch the international racing event live. The former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti, is no exception.

However, while watching at the Mandalika Circuit, Susi received a warning from the Minister of SOEs, Erick Thohir.

At first, Susi looked for a place to smoke. She found the best spot under the stands near the stairs. While engrossed in smoking cigarettes, Erick bumped into her.

Erick said there was a ban where Susi was standing. "Smoking is not allowed here, near petrol", said Erick in a video clip uploaded to his Instagram account, @erickthohir.

However, at that time Susi did not immediately react.

The video then shows the two meeting moments after Susi was reprimanded. Susi admitted that she objected to Erick's warning.

While protesting, Susi complained. She said that at the Mandalika Circuit there is no smoking room. The protest was delivered while laughing and embracing Erick.

"I want to complain. Smoker has no place. Earlier I was caught with Mr. Erick smoking under the stairs. The truck drivers watched it", said Susi.

Despite criticizing the unavailability of space for smokers, Susi still praised the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP event. In front of Erick, Susi admitted that she was impressed by the racing event in West Nusa Tenggara.

"A year ago I was here, shooting Suci Cek Ombak. Nothing is happening now, it's extraordinary", said Susi.

Erick said Susi was his best friend. Meeting with Susi will always provide an exciting experience as well as a humorous moment.

Erick also gave a signal that he could meet again at Susi's residence in Pangandaran, West Java.

"It's just a joke... stay healthy, ma'am! It's fun to play in Pangandaran once in a while", said Erick in the video caption he uploaded.

A moment later, Erick replied to Susi's 'code'. He 'challenges' Erick on vacation to Pangandaran. Of course, you will be greeted with a typical beach dish in West Java. "When are you going to Pangandaran? Eat seafood and soak in the South Sea", replied Susi.
