Member of Commission I from the Gerindra faction, Fadli Zon, denied that Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto was not firm in resolving the polemic in Natuna. According to Fadli Zon, Prabowo's steps actually took into account Indonesia's strength in Natuna. According to him, Indonesia does not have de facto power to defend territorial waters in Natuna and South China.
