kepemimpinannya selain kasus terorisme global. Penanggulangan bahaya narkoba, perjudian,
dan perdagangan manusia juga sebagai beban berat yang membutuhkan kerja keras bersama
pimpinan dan rakyat.

Di masa jabatannya, Indonesia mengalami sejumlah bencana alam seperti gelombang

tsunami, gempa bumi, dll. Semua ini merupakan tantangan tambahan bagi Presiden yang
masih bergelut dengan upaya memulihkan kehidupan ekonomi negara dan kesejahteraan
rakyat.

Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono juga membentuk UKP3R, sebuah lembaga kepresidenan

yang diketuai oleh Marsilam Simandjuntak pada 26 Oktober 2006 Lembaga ini pada awal
pembentukannya mendapat tentangan dari Partai Golkar seiring dengan isu tidak
dilibatkannya Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla dalam pembentukannya serta isu dibentuknya
UKP3R untuk memangkas kewenangan Wakil Presiden, tetapi akhirnya diterima setelah
SBY sendiri menjelaskannya dalam sebuah keterangan pers.
