JAKARTA (yosefardi) – The Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) has just drowned three foreign illegal fishing boats in Anambas Sea, Kepulauan Riau, as ordered by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.
Spokesperson of the Navy First Admiral Manahan Simorangkir said that three boats are owned by Vietnamese fisherman.
President said it is a firm order to show that Indonesia is now serious in combating illegal fishing.
“Save the crew then sink their boats. Sink 10 to 20 illegal boats, then it would make them think,” Jokowi repeatedly said. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
