In reference to the news story on the front page of The Jakarta Post on Feb
n reference to the news story on the front page of The Jakarta Post on Feb. 26, 2015, entitled 'Susi torpedoes Navy over Chinese vessel', which seemingly denotes the Navy lacks enthusiasm for cracking down on foreign poachers, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti has the following clarification:
The Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister did not make any statement blaming the Navy for the handling of the Fu Yuan Yu 80 fishing vessel. It was the Directorate of the Maritime Resources and Fisheries Control of the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry that was fully responsible for the handling of the Fu Yuan Yu 80 vessel.
We make this clarification to straighten out any misperception that might have been caused by the news story.
