Perbandingan Pengawalan Paspampres Era Presiden Jokowi dan SBY

Gaya Pasukan Pengamanan Presiden yang bertugas melakukan pengawalan di jalan raya menuai simpati. Presiden Jokowi meminta mereka tak boleh arogan dan harus menghargai masyarakat.

Mayjen TNI Bambang Suswantono yang pernah menjabat sebagai Danpaspamres mengawal Presiden Jokowi beberapa waktu lalu mengatakan salah satu pesan Presiden Jokowi saat pertama ia memegang jabatan sebagai Danpaspampres adalah Presiden selalu ingin dekat dengan rakyat.

"Beliau punya keinginan untuk dekat dengan masyarakat, di sepanjang jalan di setiap masyarakat berkumpul di situlah Presiden berhenti, di setiap kesempatan beliau selalu melayani masyarakat untuk berfoto. Ketika batas antara Presiden dengan rakyat semakin dekat maka batas kenyamanan sangat bergesekan dengan batas keamanan," katanya.

Bambang yang kini posisinya digantikan oleh Brigjen TNI Suhartono itu mengatakan ketika itu dia selalu menekankan sisi keamanan sesuai prosedur tetap namun menyesuaikan dengan kemauan Presiden yang selalu ingin dekat dengan rakyat.

"Kita harus menyesuaikan diri tapi prinsip pengamanan tetap tidak boleh lepas dari koridor," katanya.

Sementara Komandan Paspamres Grup A Kolonel Inf Mohamad Hasan yang tampak mengawal langsung perjalanan Presiden dalam video tersebut berkali-kali mengingatkan anggotanya untuk tetap santun dan mengacungkan jempol kepada masyarakat yang dilalui dalam perjalanan tersebut.

"Tetap santun kemudian acungkan jempol sebagai tanda ucapan terima kasih," kata Hasan.

Perjalanan VVIP itu juga sama sekali tidak tampak menggunakan sirine dan tidak ada pembukaan jalan sebelumnya.

Sehingga jika pun kondisi jalanan macet maka perjalanan Presiden Jokowi pun akan turut serta dalam jalur kemacetan yang sama.


Sementara itu, Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono pun dulu mengaku sebenarnya ingin konvoi kepresidenan tak mengganggu masyarakat. Namun SBY mengaku tunduk pada aturan protokoler dan standar keamanan yang ditetapkan oleh Paspampres.

"Sering pula dalam perjalanan di Jakarta, kota-kota besar atau di daerah, Presiden SBY memerintahkan agar lalu lintas dibiarkan mengalir, tidak ditutup agar tidak merugikan masyarakat, tetapi menurut Paspampres, Polri dan personel pengaman lain, hal tersebut tidak dapat dilakukan demi pengamanan dan penyelamatan," kata SBY, Januari 2014 lalu.

Menurut SBY, Paspampres menjalankan tugas yang sebenarnya harus tegas, tidak kenal kompromi, ketat, dan tidak ada toleransi. Zero tolerance untuk gagal dan salah. Hal itulah yang membuat masyarakat menilai Paspampres arogan.

"Itu oleh masyarakat luas sering disalahmengertikan atau disalahpersepsikan sebagai arogan, terlalu keras, berlebihan, dan sebagainya. Padahal, seperti itulah ekspose, taktik dan teknik yang berlaku secara universal," kata SBY.

Presiden SBY menyadari bahwa tugas dan kewajiban mengamankan Presiden dan Wapres bukanlah suatu pekerjaan mudah, namun penuh tantangan, dan telah diatur dengan prosedur tetap dia pun memahami kesulitan yang dihadapi Paspampres.

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.
