JAKARTA - Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto asked former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti to quit smoking. This request was conveyed by Prabowo when he visited Susi's residence in Pangandaran which was immortalized via uploading a photo of Prabowo's Instagram.

"I've advised Mrs. Susi to stop smoking!" Prabowo wrote on his Instagram account @prabowo, Monday, July 17.

The Gerindra Party's presidential candidate is also joking that he is worried about being drowned by Susi if he doesn't take the time to stop by Susi's house and taste her typical homemade dishes.

Prabowo inserts this joke because Susi is a former minister who is typical of drowning foreign fishing vessels.

"On a visit to Pangandaran this morning I was also asked to stop by Mrs. Susi Pudjiastuti's residence, to try a typical marine dish that she cooked herself, I was worried that she would be drowned if she didn't take the time to stop by and taste her special dish," said Prabowo.

Before visiting Susi's residence, Prabowo made a working visit to Pangandaran Beach during the release of turtles and beach cleaning. On that occasion, Prabowo handed over 12 units of boat engines to the fishermen.

In this activity, Prabowo said that the sea is the future of the nation. For that, he wants to be able to strengthen and deceive fishermen in Indonesia.

"We have to think about the fate of the fishermen. We have to improve their level of life and income. Because they are protein producers for the people," said Prabowo.
