Kontingen TNI AD berhasil membawa pulang gelar juara umum dalam laga ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet (AARM) ke-26. Prajurit TNI ternyata sempat mendapat 'godaan' dari Filipina selaku tuan rumah.
"Pihak Filipina memberikan godaan dengan tour terpimpin. Tour yang dikoordinir sama panitia melihat tempat-tempat wisata di sana seperti mal, museum dan sebagainya," kisah Komandan Kontingen TNI AD dalam AARM Mayor Inf Wimoko saat berbincang di Mabesad, Jalan Veteran, Jakarta Pusat.
Maksud Filipina sebenarnya baik dengan memberi service kepada para peserta. Sambil berkelakar, Wimoko menyebut service tersebut adalah godaan bagi para atlet petembaknya sebab tour tersebut digelar di awal-awal pertandingan.

"Boleh dibilang godaan, tapi kelemahan prajurit saya itu tidak bisa hidup enak. Karena punya misi datang untuk menang, mereka tidak mau bersenang-senang sebelum misi itu tercapai," ucapnya.
Wimoko pun membuat siasat agar pihaknya tidak mengecewakan Filipina sebagai tuan rumah namun tidak membuat para petembak hilang konsen. Dia mengirim tim official untuk ikut pada tour itu.
"Saya punya siasat, yang ikut dalam tour itu bukan petembak tapi tim pendukung termasuk saya. Kita menjaga diplomasi, menjaga kebersamaan. Jangan sampai tidak ikut jadinya diplomasi enggak baik. Tapi tetap tujuan petembak fokus tercapai," terang Wimoko.
Saat sudah berada di Filipina, para atlet petembak tidak bisa berlatih kembali di lapangan sebelum pertandingan. Meski begitu, Wimoko tetap meminta mereka berlatih lewat imajinasi.
"Petembak kami ada keterbatasan ditaruh di penginapan, saya antisipasi dengan meminta mereka melakukan imaginary training. Membayangkan latihan padahal mereka hanya duduk," jelas Danyon 811 Gultor Sat 81 Kopassus itu.
Latihan dengan cara tersebut ternyata cukup membantu dalam memperoleh kemenangan. "Itu terbukti. Menurut penelitian, atlet itu antara latihan di lapangan dengan imaginary training yang paling bagus dikombinasi. Jadi digabung," tambah Wimoko.
Kisah lain yang cukup berkesan bagi Kontingen TNI AD adalah saat pertandingan di kategori senjata otomatis. Dari tiga juara, semuanya direbut oleh tim Indonesia. Itu membuat tiga Bendera Merah Putih dikibarkan secara bersama-sama saat pemberian hadiah. Foto momen tersebut sempat menjadi viral di media sosial.
"Jadi ada bercandaan antar komandan kontingen. Terutama dari Malaysia dan Brunei karena sama-sama bisa bahasa Melayu," cerita Wimoko.
Seringnya tim Indonesia menjadi juara pada berbagai kategori pertandingan, membuat lagu Indonesia Raya selalu dikumandangkan setiap harinya. Komandan kontingen negara tetangga pun menyebut lagu Indonesia Raya sebagai "lagu sampai petang" karena tak henti-hentinya diperdengarkan saat momen pemberian hadiah.
"Dari Malaysia bilang apa lagu sore ini (tim yang menjadi pemenang). Brunei bilang pasti Indonesia Raya. Malaysia bilang itu 'lagu sampai petang'. Komandannya bahkan bercanda itu kasetnya rusak karena diulang-ulang terus," Wimoko menuturkan.

"Dia juga bilang kalau bisa saya curi kasetnya biar panitia enggak menyalakan lagu Indonesia Raya. Pernah tim Indonesia, Malaysia dan Brunei bareng di podium, tapi Malaysia bilang tetap tak ada lagu mereka," imbuhnya.
Hal tersebut lantaran tim harus berada di posisi pertama di setiap pertandingan jika ingin lagu negaranya dikumandangkan. Atau perwakilan peserta harus mendapat medali emas.
"Mereka bilang sampai hafal lagu Indonesia Raya. Karena setiap hari terdengar terus. Makanya disebut 'lagu sampai petang'," tutup Wimoko.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance
Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it?
Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy?
Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them?
If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy:
Be prepared to pay heavy fines
Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it?
Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property
In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high.

Pay losses for own damage
While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable.

Face legal complications
Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned.
Loss of No Claim Bonus
If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed.
A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
