Panglima TNI: Ngapain Baca Dokumen AS soal 1965?

Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantyo

Jiwapatriot.com - Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantyo merasa dirinya tidak perlu membaca dokumen yang dirilis di Amerika Serikat terkait keterlibatan militer Indonesia dalam pembunuhan massal terhadap kader dan simpatisan Partai Komunis Indonesia pasca-Gerakan 30 September 1965.

“Ya ngapain saya baca dokumen itu kan,” kata Gatot di Komplek Istana Kepresidenan, Jakarta, Selasa (24/10/2017).

Gatot mengatakan, adalah sesuatu yang wajar apabila di suatu negara ada kejadian tertentu, maka perwakilan duta besar yang ada di negara itu memberi laporan kepada pemerintahnya. Tiap negara juga memiliki aturan masing-masing dalam merilis dokumen rahasia ke publik.

“Kita harus berpikir kita hargai bahwa di (tiap) negara ada aturan. Bahwa dokumen rahasia sekian tahun bisa dikeluarkan. Kita enggak bisa ikutan seperti itu,” kata Gatot.

Gatot pun enggan menanggapi lebih jauh soal langkah yang ditempuh pemerintah terkait dirilisnya dokumen itu. Ia menyerahkan kepada Menteri Luar Negeri Retno Marsudi.

Gatot juga enggan mengaitkan dirilisnya dokumen tersebut dengan dirinya yang sempat ditolak masuk ke Amerika Serikat.

“Itu tanya Menlu jangan tanya saya,” kata dia.

Dilansir dari BBC Indonesia, sejumlah dokumen kabel diplomatik Amerika soal tragedi 1965 kembali dibuka ke publik oleh tiga lembaga Amerika.

Dokumen kabel diplomatik itu berasal dari National Security Archive (NSA), National Declassification Center (NDC), dan lembaga negara National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Dokumen itu menguak sejumlah surat dari dan ke Amerika Serikat terkait pembunuhan massal pasca-1965.

Dokumen yang dibuka adalah 39 dokumen setebal 30.000 halaman yang merupakan catatan Kedutaan Besar Amerika untuk Indonesia sejak 1964 hingga 1968. Isinya antara lain seputar ketegangan antara militer dengan PKI, termasuk efek selanjutnya berupa pembantaian massal.

Data dan fakta ini dinilai menguak sebagian tabir yang selama ini masih tertutup rapat dalam sejarah Indonesia. Selama ini, negara, terutama Tentara Nasional Indonesia, mengelak untuk membicarakan atau mengkaji ulang sejarah kelam tragedi 1965.

Fakta yang tersaji dalam dokumen diplomatik Amerika ini membantah narasi tunggal bahwa korban pembantaian tragedi 1965 adalah komunis atau mereka yang memang terkait pembunuhan para jenderal dan upaya pengambilalihan kekuasaan pada 30 September 1965.

Para anggota dan simpatisan PKI itu “kebingungan dan mengaku tak tahu soal 30 September,” tulis laporan diplomatik Kedutaan Besar Amerika untuk Indonesia pada 20 November 1965.

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.
