Jakarta – Kapolri, Jenderal Pol Listyo Sigit Prabowo praised the heroic actions of Bripda Novandro, a member of the Satlantas Polres Kubu Raya Kalimantan Barat,
who was willing to sacrifice his NMAX motorbike for the safety of the community. Due to his admiration, Kapolri Listyo Sigit also took the time to chat with Bripda Novandro via video call network. The contents of this conversation were uploaded via social media X, previously Twitter, Friday, (5/1) evening.
Kapolri Listyo Sigit wants to hear directly how Bripd Novandro carried out the action to save the bus which failed to climb and was going backwards.
“I happened to see on social media something viral about what Bripda Novandro did. I want to hear directly what the story is like,” asked Kapolri Listyo Sigit in a video call.
Upon this question, Bripda Novandro then explained the actions taken to protect the bus which was experiencing technical problems. This heroic action, said Bripda Novandro, was carried out with his senior, Bripka Isa. Initially, he said, the bus was breaking down and was reversing freely. Meanwhile behind him there are still other road users.
“It happened on December 30 2023. At that time, Bripka Isa contacted me via HT that a bus had broken down on the Kapuas 2 toll bridge. My senior and I carried out arrangements to clear up the traffic jam and carry out an evacuation behind the bus,” he explained.
“However, at that time the bus started to slowly back away. We immediately took our motorbikes to immediately make an emergency evacuation to evacuate the people behind the bus,” he continued.
He and his seniors then immediately took the initiative to lay their NMAX motorbike right behind the bus tire. Novandro’s responsive action deserves a thumbs up because it succeeded in stopping the bus. The potential for consecutive accidents can be avoided.
“Then we saw the bus start to roll freely. Then we took the initiative to block the bus, with my motorbike and Bripka Isa, my senior.” Bripda Novandro continued his story.
“What is likely to happen is that the bus will hit the truck and fuel tank which will cause an explosion and cause many fatalities,” he continued.
After hearing Bripda Novandro’s explanation, Kapolri Listyo Sigit then asked again about Bripda Novandro’s initiative to block the bus that failed to climb with his motorbike.
“I want to know what came to mind at that time and then suddenly took the initiative to block the speed of the bus with a motorbike?” Kapolri Listyo Sigit continued his question.
“So at that time there were still a lot of vehicles behind our bus too. If we used our hands to block the bus it could have been crushed for sure. So we took the initiative, we took our motorbike and it stuck behind the bus. Thank God the bus was able to stop,” answered Bripda. Novandro.
Hearing this answer, Kapolri Listyo Sigit asked again whether Bripda Novandro didn’t love his motorbike.
“You don’t love your motorbike, do you?” asked the Kapolri.
“I’m ready, dear general. But I care more about the lives of the people behind the bus,” Novandro answered bluntly.
For his heroic attitude which was highly appreciated by the Kapolri, Bripda Novandro has now received a replacement NMAX motorbike which is exactly the same as his previous NMAX motorbike.
“I think the steps taken are very good and I know that motorbike is Andro’s only motorbike. But to save many people you are willing to sacrifice your motorbike. Actions like that to save other people continue to be guarded and maintained,” said Kapolri Listyo Sigit express his appreciation. Bembo
