Even had it the name of the nation in Asia, not many Marina received from the government. He claimed only Supersemar had received a scholarship for 1 year from the time of President Suharto. Scholarship he received Rp 100 thousand per month. After that there was no attention to anything else.

Stopped by the government's attention on the Marina when he accidentally met with an employee named Kemenpora Karsono, June 2011. That morning Karsono who lived in Complex Inkopol, Kranji, Bekasi, take a taxi driven by Marina.
