Can't hardly wait for our President's next move.
If after the president visit the China still do the same thing, I believe Jokowi with the advice of Luhut will "show" stronger action.
Our sovereignty must come first. NKRI Harga Mati.

(Mohon ijin para senior saya cuma ingin share bbrp thoughts untuk Natuna. Kalau terlalu nonsense dan gak masuk nanti kasih tau aja biar del. Cheers!)

Few thoughts to strengthen Natuna.

Boost the economy. (We can always use extra money)

• Special Economic Zone – Give this status for Natuna.
• Fishing business – Bigger and more boats, education and advance technologies for fishing, fish processing plants, and irresistible incentives for domestic and international investors. (Let lots of our fishermen to go far and exploit our EEZ).
• Oil and gas – Give out more concessions for exploration and lifting. Pertamina can partner up with local, US, UK, Korean or Japanese companies and build oil platforms in the EEZ.
• Tourism – Hotels, resorts, and casinos (if possible) with intense promotion to the world to promote international knowledge and understanding of the location.
• Build shipyards for ship maintenance.
• Infrastructure – Roads, international airports and seaports to export goods from the island.

Increase the population density. (The more the merrier)

• Restart Transmigrasi program and enhance it with better packages for the participants to exploit the nature and to support new businesses.
• Get participants from all over Indonesia with all different Suku Agama Ras and Keahlian (especially nelayan).
• Berharap Natuna jadi melting pot kaya JKT.
• Education institutions (universities and research centers)

Military presence

• Upgrade military bases and defenses. Develop an advance joint ops base TNI-AL + AU + Bakamla + KKP for more efficient logistics like Pearl Harbor or Subic Bay + Clark AB (not necessarily as big but with all functions).
• Build more manned military outposts. (Lighthouses and offshore platforms).
• Post more ships and aircrafts for routine patrol.
• Conduct regular large military exercises (TNI + KKP + Bakamla + KPLP + Customs + Polisi). Also throw international exercises like MNEK every semester.

Last thing...

Government presence

• Build a huge iconic Istana Negara as big as or even bigger than Istana + Kebun Raya Bogor on the island then invite foreign dignitaries (PMs, Presidents, etc.).

NKRI HARGA MATI!

Indonesia president visits islands on warship, makes point to China

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's president held a cabinet meeting aboard a warship off the Natuna Islands on Thursday, asserting sovereignty over waters in the southern reaches of the South China Sea after Beijing stated its "over-lapping claim" on nearby waters.

President Joko Widodo's visit to the remote island chain along with his chief security minister, foreign minister, and military chief was described by Indonesian officials as the strongest message that has been given to China over the issue.

During the cabinet meeting onboard the Indonesian navy corvette, Widodo called on the military to step up patrols in the wake of a series of face-offs between Indonesian and Chinese vessels in area.

"The capabilities of the military...in securing our seas should be improved, whether it's technology or general preparedness," Widodo said, according to a presidential palace statement.

Officials told reporters the cabinet also discussed matters of sovereignty and development. Indonesia has established a special economic zone in the gas-rich waters around Natuna Islands, which lie over 340 kilometers (212 miles) off the northwest tip of Borneo island.

Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung, who also accompanied Widodo, posted online photos of the president aboard the warship and of a written message he left for the crew, saying "Defend Indonesia".

The president's visit to a body of water that Indonesia calls the Natuna Sea reflected the government's strong stance over the issue, Chief Security Minister Luhut Pandjaitan said.

"In the course of our history, we've never been this stern (with China). This is also to demonstrate that the president is not taking the issue lightly," he told The Jakarta Post newspaper.

Both sides have denied that the matter represents a territorial or diplomatic dispute.

But, Beijing officials repeated on Thursday that while China does not dispute Indonesia's sovereignty over the Natuna Islands, "some waters of the South China Sea" were subject to "overlapping claims on maritime rights and interests".

"We hope that Indonesia can meet us halfway, objectively recognize the relevant dispute and appropriately resolve the relevant fishing issue to jointly maintain the overall picture of the development of bilateral relations and regional peace and stability," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily news briefing.

Carlosa: Well, now is clear that China has claims over some of the Indonesian EEZ. I hope Indonesia stops buying chinese military equipment.

Indonesia will stops chinese boats from doing illegal activities inside Indonesia's maritime jurisdiction. This would not and should not affect general relation with China. Except if China choose to escalate things further...

Ranai (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) wants to give priority for the Natuna islands in economic development especially in fishery and energy sectors, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said.

"Development of outermost areas needs special addressing and should be given priority," the minister said in a news conference after a limited cabinet meeting led by President Jokowi on board a warship KRI Imam Bonjol sailing in the South China Sea on Thursday.

The visit to Natuna by President Jokowi and a number of cabinet ministers and security officials followed last weeks incident when an Indonesian warship seized a Chinese fishing boat found poaching in the Indonesian exclusive economic zone.

The boat one of a group of ten Chinese fishing vessels was stopped after the navy ship fired shots to the air and to the sea in front of the boat.

China protested and said a crewmen was injured but the Indonesian government denied the claim saying no one was injured.

Observers said the visit to Natuna was to emphasize Jakartas determination to protect the countrys sovereignty over Natuna water territory and control of its exclusive economic zone.

Retno said the sovereignty of the country in Natuna has to be protected.

She said Indonesia is a big country and seas make up two third of the territory.

"From the beginning the government of President Jokowi has shown greater attention to development of outer regions and this time it is the turn of the Natuna islands, which are among the countrys outermost regions," she said.

She said at the meeting , the president heard reports from his ministries about projects to be built and progress of projects under construction in Natuna.

Natuna is known to have one of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world and its sea fish riches have attracted foreign fishing boats to poach in its water.

"According to Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said, there are 16 offshore oil and gas blocks in Natuna and five of them have been in operation and the rest are in the process of development," Retno said.

Meanwhile Marine and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiati reported about development of integrated project in fishery sector in Natuna, she said.

Military Chief General Gatot Nurmantyo reported about plan to build defense system around Natuna.

Also attending the meting were Coordinating Minister for Law, Security and Political Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, Minister for National Development Planning Sofyan Djalil and Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung.
