Tentara Malaysia Kalang Kabut Melarikan Diri, Karena KORPS Pasukan Katak Indonesia

TNI memang memiliki beberapa pasukan elit yang bisa dibanggakan. Di antaranya adalah Kopassus, Satgultor-81, Taifib Marinir, Kopaska, Denjaka, Kopaskhas, dan Den Bravo dan lainnya. Kehebatan mereka pun sampai terdengar di penjuru dunia. Terakhir, dalam perayaan HUT TNI di Cilegon, Banten 5 Oktober lalu, beberapa kalangan menyebut bahwa Marinir TNI AL Stupid Crazy saat menerjunkan tank amfibinya LVT-7 dari darat ke laut..

Sebenarnya, bukan hanya marinir yang bisa disebut stupid crazy alias nekat dan gila. Tapi para pasukan elit TNI lainnya juga tergolong nekat dan gila. Salah satunya adalah Kopaska (Korps Pasukan Katak).

Pasukan katak adalah pasukan khusus milik TNI yang didirikan oleh Presiden Soekarno pada 31 Maret 1962. Pasukan ini memiliki motto Tan Hana Wighna Tan Sirna atau Tidak Ada Rintangan yang Tak Dapat Diatasi.

Tugas utama Kopaska adalah peledakan ataudemolisi bawah air. Termasuk juga sabotase/penyerangan rahasia kekapal lawan dan sabotase pangkalan musuh. Pasukan ini juga memiliki tugas penghancuran instalasi bawah air, pengintaian, mempersiapkan pantai pendaratan untuk operasi amfibi yang lebih besar. Serta, menjalankan operasi antiteror di laut.

Salah satu operasi legendaris Kopaska adalah saat beberapa personel mereka ditugaskan untuk mengamankan Blok Ambalat dari gangguan Malaysia.

Peristiwa itu diungkap dalam buku: Kopaska, Spesialis Pertempuran Laut Khusus yang diterbitkan untuk memperingati ulang tahunnya yang ke 50.

Pada 2005, hubungan Indonesia dan Malaysia memanas di Blok Ambalat. Indonesia sedang membangun mercusuar Karang Unarang yang terletak di titik terluar sebagai batas wilayah.

Tapi pembangunan itu terus diganggu oleh Tentara Laut Diraja Malaysia maupun Marine Police. Mereka terus bermanuver di dekat area pembangunan yang menimbulkan gelombang dan membuat pekerja kesusahan membangun mercusuar.

Nah pada 1 April 2005, dua kapal tentara Malaysia dan Marine Police Malaysia buang jangkar di dekat mercusuar.

Sebenarnya TNI sudah berusaha mengusir mereka dengan menggunakan kapal patroli TNI AL KRI Tedong Naga. Tapi usaha itu sia-sia dan Malaysia tetap saja “iseng”.

Akhirnya komandan kapal perang Indonesia meminta bantuan Kopaska yang sebenarnya sudah bersiaga di sana.

Adalah Serka Ismail yang diterjunkan untuk mengusir kapal Malaysia. Sebelum beraksi, Ismail meminta izin komandan Tim Kopaska Lettu Berny. Sang letnan pun mengizinkannya bergerak ke kapal Malaysia.

Syaratnya, Ismail tak membawa senjata agar tak terjadi kontak tembak.

Mendapat restu Ismail langsung memacu motor boat ke arah Malaysia bersama Serda Muhadi dan Kelasi Satu Yuli Sungkono. Motor boat itu melaju zigzag dengan kecepatan tinggi.

Benar saja, perhatian anak buah kapal (ABK) Malaysia tertuju pada motor boat personel Kopaska itu. Ternyata diam-diam Ismail melompat dan berenang senyap menuju kapal Malaysia.

Saat semua mata personel tentara Maaysia tertuju ke motor boat itu, Islamil sukses naik ke atas kapal tanpa diketahui siapapun. Tiba-tiba dia muncul sambil berteriak, “Di mana kapten kapal!”

Sang kapten kapal Malaysia itu pun keluar dan menemuinya. Setelah ditanya apa keperluan mereka buang jangkar di dekat pembangunan mercusuar, sang kapten menjawab normatif. Dia berkata hanya menjalankan perintah.

“Baiklah kalau begitu. Daerah ini adalah wilayah Indonesia. Setelah saya turun, segera pergi dari wilayah ini. Kalau tidak jangkar akan saya putuskan,” sergah Ismail pada komandan kapal Malaysia.

Keberanian Ismail ternyata membuat ciut nyali pasukan Malaysia. Begitu Ismail lompat ke perahu karet, kapal pertama langsung angkat jangkar dan kabur dari Karang Unarang.

Tapi kapal kedua ogah pergi. Karena dihalang-halangi Ismail tak bisa naik ke kapal. Tak habis akal, dia menuju ke tali jangkar dan berteriak sambil menggoyang-goyangkan tali jangkar. “Kalau tidak pergi, tali jangkar ini saya ledakkan,” ancamnya seperti dituliskan buku tersebut.

Akhirnya dua kapal Malaysia itu pergi. Ternyata kenekatan dan kegilaan tiga Kopaska itu bisa membuat nyali Malaysia ciut.

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. Read more Is third party car worth buying? 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. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance 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.
