Ini Dia Kemesraan dan Kedekatan SBY-Prabowo Saat Masih Berpangkat Kolonel

Tahun 1996, Kopassus dimekarkan dari 3 grup menjadi 5 grup. Jabatan Komandan Kopassus pun jadi jatah Mayor Jenderal. Prabowo pun mendapat promosi menjadi bintang dua. Sementara SBY kemudian menjabat Panglima Kodam Sriwijaya. 

Ketua Umum Gerindra Prabowo Subianto melakukan pertemuan dengan Ketua Umum Demokrat Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). Pertemuan dua mantan jenderal TNI Angkatan Darat tersebut dilakukan di kediaman SBY berada di Cikeas, Bogor, Jawa Barat.

 Prabowo-SBY membahas beberapa hal. Salah satunya soal kondisi bangsa dan Undang Undang Pemilu. Pertemuan keduanya berlangsung cair. Prabowo sempat bercanda intel SBY yang hebat, bisa tahu kelemahan dirinya.

"Intelnya Pak SBY masih kuat, dia tahu kelemahannya Prabowo itu nasi goreng. Asal diberi nasi goreng, Pak Prabowo pasti setuju saja," ujar Prabowo disambut tawa para politisi di Cikeas.

Meski tak berkoalisi, kedua pihak sepakat meningkatkan komunikasi Hambalang-Cikeas.

Pertemuan dan foto-foto ini mengingatkan pada foto bersejarah yang menunjukkan sosok Prabowo dan SBY saat masih berpangkat kolonel. Keduanya menghadiri sebuah acara dan sama-sama mengenakan pakaian dinas upacara. Baik Prabowo dan SBY mengenakan baret hijau pasukan lintas udara.

Kemungkinan foto diambil tahun 1991 atau 1993. Saat itu Prabowo kemungkinan menjabat sebagai Kepala Staf Brigade Infanteri Lintas Udara 17 Kostrad sementara SBY menjabat Korspri Pangab.

Pada era 90 awal, kedua sosok ini jadi sorotan. Tahun 1995, Majalah GATRA menulis keduanya termasuk Generasi Muda ABRI dengan karir cemerlang.
Prabowo dikenal sebagai perwira dengan segudang pengalaman operasi tempur. Beberapa kali mendapat kenaikan pangkat luar biasa karena prestasinya di medan laga. Dia pun identik dengan Korps Baret Merah Kopassus walau sempat beberapa kali bertugas di Kostrad.

Sementara SBY dikenal sebagai perwira pemikir dengan karir cemerlang. Dia pernah menjadi Kepala Pengamat Militer PBB di Bosnia. Penugasan tempur SBY pun dialaminya saat menjadi komandan batalyon di Dili.

Prabowo mendapat promosi menjadi jenderal bintang satu saat menjabat komandan Kopassus tahun 1995. Tak lama, SBY menyusul menjadi brigadir jenderal dengan promosi sebagai Kepala Staf Kodam Jaya.

 Namun tak ada kedua jenderal ini yang menjadi Kepala Staf TNI AD atau Panglima TNI. Karir Prabowo redup seiring suhu politik 1998. Dari Panglima Kostrad dia digeser menjadi Komandan Sesko TNI. Inilah untuk pertama kalinya Prabowo tak memegang pasukan selama karirnya.

Sementara SBY kemudian menjadi menteri Pertambangan dan Energi, lalu menteri Polhukam di era Presiden Gus Dur. SBY juga menjadi Menteri Polhukam di era Presiden Megawati Soekarnoputri. Namun mengundurkan diri dan mendirikan Partai Demokrat tahun 2004. Dia kemudian berhasil menjadi Presiden RI selama dua periode 2004 hingga 2014.

Prabowo dua kali kalah dalam Pemilu. Tahun 2009, pasangan Mega-Prabowo ditumbangkan SBY-Boediono. Sementara tahun 2014 lalu, Prabowo-Hatta kalah oleh Jokowi-JK.

Kini Prabowo dan SBY kembali bertemu. Bukan lagi sebagai kolonel, tetapi pemimpin partai dan politikus senior Indonesia. Akankah koalisi Cikeas-Hambalang bisa mendudukkan Prabowo ke kursi RI-1? [ian]

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.
