Soal 5.000 Senjata ilegal, Panglima TNI Diingatkan Tentang Sumpah Prajurit. Apa Saja itu ?

Pengamat Intelijen dan Militer, Connie Rahakundini Bakrie menyarankan Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantyo mengingat sumpah prajurit kembali. Sebab, beberapa pernyataan yang ia lempar belakangan ini membuat rakyat bingung, terlebih soal kedatangan ribuan senjata api yang disebut ilegal.

"Jadi kembali ke sumpah prajurit saja, qualited the bester jadi panglima itu. Jadi rakyat tidak menduga-duga, tidak mengira-ngira.‎ Pusing saya rasanya, jadi kapan kerjanya,"‎ ujar Connie saat dihubungi, Senin (2/10).

Ia melihat ada semacam skenario seolah ada senjata masuk 5.000 buah senjata yang dikesankan ilegal atau unclear, tentu timbul pertanyaan apakah ini tujuannya untuk menciptakan kesan seolah ucapan Panglima TNI betul lalu ucapan Menko Polhukam Wiranto salah.

"Intinya aku pikir drama-drama menarik perhatian publik, membuat rakyat galau hanya untuk tujuan popularitas, tujuan politik atau tujuan lainnya yang hanya Tuhan tahu disetop oleh Panglima TNI," ujarnya.

Menurut dia, kalau dianalisa keberadaan materiil senjata SAGL kaliber 40mm sebanyak 280 pucuk dan amunisi granatnya sebanyak 5.932 butir‎ di Gudang Bandara Soekarno-Hatta secara jujur ini sangat rawan dan berbahaya baik politik maupun kelembagaan.

‎"Jelas karena potensi ancaman perpecahan menjadi sangat tinggi, karena terkesan kan barang ini ilegal padahal bukan," jelas dia.

Ia mengatakan TNI dan Polri merupakan lembaga yang berada dalam satu wadah yaitu NKRI, tentu ada aturan dan mekanisme yang dapat serta yang tidak dapat dilakukan ketika terjadi tumpang-tindih atau bahkan benturan dalam menjalankan tupoksinya masing-masing termasuk pengadaan barang ini.

Kemudian, kata Connie, Panglima TNI sebaiknya menyelesaikan semua secara ketatanegaraan, tidak usah disebar di ruang publik sehingga tidak menimbulkan keresahan masyarakat (polemik), apalagi sampai menimbulkan perpecahan baik antar aparutur negara maupun di masyarakat.

"Jadi maksudnya berita ini diedarkan untuk apa? Apakah rakyat mau dibuat pusing terus dan yakin para kementerian lembaga pejabat negara ini engga bisa kerja? Engga bisa koordinasi? Menurut saya, ini ada skenario drama politik tapi gagal total. Jadi bingung semuanya sekarang," jelas dia.

Sebelumnya, Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantyo menegaskan informasi soal pembelian 5000 pucuk senjata ilegal di luar institusi TNI-Polri yang disampaikan saat acara silaturahmi purnawirawan bukan informasi intelijen.

Sebab, kata Gatot, informasi yang disampaikan pada acara silaturahmi baru sebatas rencana dan pembelian senjata yang belum terealisasi.

Informasi intelijen, kata Gatot, harus terpenuhi formulasi menyangkut identitas pelaku, apa yang dilakukan, kapan melakukan, dimana, bagaimana dan mengapa.

"Yang kemarin saya sampaikan hanya akan, belum terjadi kan. Maka belum terjadi," ujar Gatot usai menghadiri acara Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dengan tema Pancasila dan Integrasi Bangsa di Fraksi PKS, Komplek Parlemen, Senayan, Jakarta, Rabu (27/9).

Gatot mengklaim telah mengantongi data intelijen yang akurat soal pembelian senjata api tersebut. Akan tetapi, informasi itu hanya boleh disampaikan kepada Presiden Joko Widodo.

"Semuanya informasi hanya boleh saya sampaikan kepada atasan saya Presiden. Menko Polhukam pun tidak, Menhan pun tidak," tegasnya. [rhm]

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.
