Presidential Guard, had to be fierce?

By: Yoedi Karyono

After President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), his family, ministers and presidential staff, now the Presidential Security Force (Paspampres) becomes the target of criticism. They were considered too arrogant and arbitrary authority to the people. This reform era was allowed to speak anything, doing criticism to anyone, and those who become targets of criticism

Even the public expectations for a strong and assertive president. But it is a president who obtained more often complain when it relates to his own affairs, for the affairs of others, for the affairs of the people he leads SBY almost do not care. Case of three kilos of explosive gas cylinders which had claimed to be a successful program conversion from oil to gas, it turns out after the impact occurs president silent. There was no immediate statement from SBY apologize for adverse gas explosion.

The President''should not complain of any problems that occur. But it proved to work hard and prove that SBY care to its people,''said Dr. Indira Samego, a political observer Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

With the president's whiny, Indira said, would only further increase the number of political opponents and unsympathetic attitude to SBY. This government has failed to organize the administration, look at all the price increases of basic commodities are out of control. ''What do the ministers even provide report cards that are considered to work less than the maximum. Not only the three ministers, but all ministers and presidents at the same time work is not maximal for the people.''

Indira said the president in fact only adds to the problem, coupled with the arrogance of his bodyguards, who are very sensitive people even more a target of sharp criticism SBY, the case of rudeness SBYyang guards then entered the print media by staff danditanggapi mejadikan president increasingly large problem, the more people who know.

Have not finished the one cases, followed by other cases that occurred during the national Children's Day commemoration at the mini park, protest of a child who feels abused by the child and claimed that the harsh action is the guardian of the president. ''I ditoyor (pushed his head) told to step aside after shaking hands with Mr. President,''said Clara the little boy who felt it necessary to rough.

Of course, that event mendaat reaction from the Palace, the presidential staff Achmad Yani Basuki area of information strongly denied that the conduct was not a presidential bodyguard, and is not known who did it, but the event staff expressed keprresidenan apologize. This objection is very naive, security and escort the president and his family must be very strict.

If there are incidents, which then only to embarrass the presidential guard and they do not know or could not even prevent, this is very dangerous. All of the events within the presidential palace or outside the palace still have to get a very tight guard, around the president that there were guards, protocol officers, guest or a guest of the president and then there are a few journalists.

''If there are people outside the entrance, then head menoyor children who became president of guests, and the guards did not know who did it. This means that there are other people who illegally entered the ring one that allowed by the guards, this is very dangerous,''said Indira.

Ditoyor definition is violence perpetrated against people older child, with the target's head. While there are almost similar to Definitively ditoyor ditonyor ie. If ditonyor of the Java language, especially in East Java is stike hard fist with a person's mouth or lips.

And people of Indonesia''I could not agree if a president, any president received a special escort and security is very tight, because that's the standard security and escorts around the world to heads of state or head of government,''he said.

But if because of security and escorted it later resulted in displeasure let alone loss of life in society, then this would be a problem. Presidential entourage, directly or indirectly, had resulted in accidents and casualties on the highway Jagorawi few years ago, now the presidential bodyguard arrogance.

''It all depends on the problem behaviors, those who feel more powerful, to feel more important then feel entitled to do anything. This is very dangerous,''said Indira.

After the events of a presidential bodyguard who yelled and threatened to shoot if road users do not want to pull over, when the presidency passed rombonngan, so many suggestions to the presidential residence in the Palace of course, this is done so that the president does not need to commute from his home in Bogor to Cikeas palace complex in central Jakarta.

Mr. President''would never reside in the palace complex, at any time for any reason, will still be carried out round-trip Cikeas - Palace. Jakarta is indeed bad for ordinary people, but not for the president and other officials, they received guard facilities, security and even open the jammed roads,''said Yenny Wahid.

Yenny Wahid, who is also son Abdurrachman Wahid, the fourth president of this country during the jabatanya father stayed in the palace complex, and it was not until two years later Gus Dur 'Wahid Abdurrachman calls deposed. Dad''had been warned by fengshui experts residing in the palace that is not good for the office of president, this will only shorten the term of office. Why, the Palace complex was interrupted by the shadow of the National Monument (Monas) and this is very bad for the home office. That said, feng shui expert.''

The first president of this country Ir Soekarno, residing in the palace complex, and he held positions as president from 1945 until 1966. And that means 21 years, long enough. Suharto's Jalan Cendana residence in Menteng to power in 1966 until 1998, and that means 32 years. President Habibie, residing in Drogheda, with the government less than two years, followed by Megawati's residence in Menteng, nor until one period, even just continue Wahid administration.

While SBY, because the rules of the presidency has changed and only in two periods only, then only 10 years Yudhoyono became president. ''So I do not believe with all the predictions and feng shui. For this second position was the President should reside only in the Palace. Now Jakarta has increasingly jammed, with the entrance of the presidential entourage procession procession, then the congestion will become worse. Give a good impression to the people, including bodyguards taught to be nice to people. In 2014, it had not become president again.''(rainbowdiplomacy.com)
