President Prabowo Subianto praised the performance of National Police\nChief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo during a speech at an event in Tuban,\nEast Java. The President was speaking at the harvest festival and launch\nof the police\u2019s food storage facility.<\/p>\n
Prabowo emphasized the significant role of the Polri institution in\nsupporting the national food security program. He stated that the\nsuccess of Polri in the field of food is largely due to the leadership\nof Police Chief General Listyo Sigit.<\/p>\n
The former Minister of Defense under Joko Widodo likened Polri to a\nfootball team. According to Prabowo, if Polri were a football team, then\nSigit, as the coach, would continue to be rewarded with contract\nextensions for achieving victories. Conversely, if a leader fails to\nperform their duties well, they will be removed from their position.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s a football team, if they win, then the manager is good,\nright?\u201d Prabowo said in Tuban on Saturday, May 16, 2026, as broadcast on\nthe Presidential Secretariat\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cThe coach is good, the captain of the team is good, isn\u2019t\nit? The contract is extended. That\u2019s right, isn\u2019t it? If things aren\u2019t\ngoing well, they get removed. It\u2019s simple.\u201d<\/p>\n
The General Chairman of the Gerindra Party then alluded to leaders\nwho insist on maintaining their positions even though they have not been\nsuccessful in carrying out their duties. \u201cSo, don\u2019t you want to be the\ncaptain of a football team, losing, losing, losing, and still want your\ncontract extended,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>\n
On that occasion, Prabowo cited the performance of Minister of\nAgriculture Amran Sulaiman as an example. Prabowo stated that Amran\nreceived the Bintang Jasa Utama award for achieving food\nself-sufficiency. Prabowo then said that Polri has also achieved success\nand the Police Chief deserves to receive the Bintang Mahaputra.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt turns out I see that Polri has achieved success. The Police Chief\nhas never received the Bintang Mahaputra, right? Later, President\nPrabowo will give him the star,\u201d Prabowo said.<\/p>\n
Prabowo also asked about the same award for TNI Commander General\nAgus Subiyanto. He said that if there are leaders of state institutions\nwho have been successful, then they need to be appreciated. \u201cThe TNI\nCommander too? Have you received it yet? President Prabowo wants to give\nit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
