ndonesian Navy Chief of Staff Adm. Muhammad Ali and the chair of House of Representatives Commission IV overseeing maritime affairs, Siti Hedijati "Titiek" Soeharto, led a flotilla of Navy and Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry personnel on Wednesday to dismantle a section of an unlicensed sea fence off the coast of Tangerang, Banten.

More than 1,500 personnel were deployed to take down the segment of the more than 30-kilometer-long bamboo structure that was allegedly built by private contractors to lay the groundwork for a massive reclamation project.

Also joining the Titiek, the former wife of President Prabowo Subianto, and Adm. Muhammad Ali was Agrarian and Spatial Planning Minister Nusron Wahid.
