House Commission III Chairman Habiburokhman Applies Zero Multiplier Doctrine to Listyo Sigit Prabowo
House Commission III Chairman Habiburokhman stated on November 7, 2026, that the past achievements of former National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo hold no value following allegations of illegal wiretapping directed at Prabowo Subianto and other public figures, detikNews reported. Habiburokhman invoked a military and tactical organization doctrine known as the zero multiplier to explain that any professional achievements are mathematically canceled out by severe breaches of loyalty and integrity.
The lawmaker made the remarks after leading a meeting of the Panitia Kerja (Panja) at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, November 5, 2026, which discussed the Problem Inventory List (DIM) for the Asset Confiscation Bill Relating to Criminal Acts.
Defense of Prior Praise Amid Social Media Criticism
The remarks came in response to criticism from former State-Owned Enterprises Ministry Said Didu, who used social media to highlight Habiburokhman’s previous praise of Listyo during a plenary session on June 6, 2026, where the lawmaker had referred to the police chief as one of the best in history. Habiburokhman stated that he does not mind the commentary, emphasizing that his earlier assessment reflected what lawmakers knew at that specific time. According to statements reported by SINDOnews Nasional, Habiburokhman maintained that he and other officials were entirely unaware of any illicit wiretapping operations when those commendations were given.
Habiburokhman noted that Prabowo Subianto himself had also praised Listyo on multiple occasions. Meeting with reporters at the Nusantara III Building of the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, November 5, 2026, Habiburokhman stated, Yes, we always believe that what we say is true at that time, right?
and added, Yes, it’s the same as Mr. Prabowo, who praised him several times, right?
He further emphasized that a past evaluation does not make anyone immune to the legal process.
Habiburokhman Compares Police Loyalty to Zero Multiplier
Elaborating on the tactical framework, Habiburokhman explained to CNN Indonesia that the zero multiplier acts as an absolute grading factor for personnel loyalty. Because loyalty and integrity serve as the primary multipliers in command training environments, any positive figure multiplied by zero results in a total loss of value. He noted that this principle now applies directly to Listyo’s service record within the police force.
Call for Transparent Investigation Into Illegal Wiretapping
ANTARA News Yogyakarta reported that Habiburokhman urged the National Police leadership to conduct a swift and transparent investigation to uncover the origins and motives behind the wiretapping scheme. He stressed that the legal process must apply equally to anyone found culpable, ensuring accountability regardless of past rank or service history.
