Passage 1
Indonesia has never had a political figure like Susi Pudjiastuti. The Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia is a tattooed high school dropout turned self-made businesswomen, and is leading a tough crackdown on illegal and unsustainable fishing. Hundreds of boats have been blown up on her orders.
When President Joko Widodo was asked why he appointed her back in 2014, he said he needed "a crazy person in order to make a breakthrough". Now, her outspoken style has turned her into something of a pop culture icon. And landed her on this year's BBC 100 Women list. All this in a country home to the world's largest Muslim population and which, in general, thinks poorly of its politicians.
Mrs. Pudjiastuti has been painted as Superwoman on a public mural, depicted as a half mermaid-half warrior and as a manga comic action figure. Her carefully crafted social media image, meanwhile, is shaking up Indonesia's normally conservative political style.
"I don't try to adjust myself to the political mainstream way of doing things, I wouldn't be successful if I try to be someone else," she says, giving her signature throaty laugh. "It hasn't been easy but now I see it as an advantage. I decided early on that I had to be open, open, open. I didn't change myself because I thought the current would be too strong against me and I would be swallowed up."
Videos of her dancing to the Beatles on board a navy vessel after an inspection or sipping coffee on a paddle board in the middle of the sea have all gone viral and polls show she is widely liked. But each time there is talk of a cabinet reshuffle there are rumors that President Jokowi is under pressure to dump her. Critics say her policies are not well thought out.
When the BBC calls to interview her, she has just come back in from the sea and is late for our interview. "Sorry I fell asleep from the ocean today. I was at sea, swimming and paddling," she says. "I have to steal a day to run away from everything. The ocean is the best place for that."

Passage 2
A photograph showing Maritime and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti sleeping on a couch in a waiting area of John F. Kennedy Airport in New York went viral on social media yesterday and won her praise for being a "super woman".
Mrs Susi reportedly fell asleep in a VIP lounge of the airport after attending a United Nations conference about maritime affairs in New York on Sunday, during which she received a compliment from actor Leonardo DiCaprio for combating illegal fishing and for protecting the sea. The picture was uploaded onto a Facebook account owned by a Jim B. Aditya yesterday.
"This super woman deserves to be called the mother of Indonesia's seas," he wrote as a caption.
