印度尼西亚总统佐科坐经济舱宣传节俭。由于政府削减开支，以及高额的税率，全世界的人们正在紧缩银根。印尼领导人已经向全球其他领导人做了榜样，总统也不会免除削减个人开支。佐科和他的妻子上周坐经济舱前往新加坡，参加儿子的高中毕业典礼。佐科先生没有选择使用总统专机，因为他的行程纯粹是一次私人旅行。夫妻二人自己出钱付了车票，但是纳税人为安全官员付了钱，他们要在飞机上保证总统的安全。

The Widodos are becoming known for their down-to-earth living. They have led a very modest lifestyle sincehe became leader of the world's fourth most populous country last month. His wife Iriana is never seen in designer dresses and does a lot of her shopping in a Jakarta clothing market. There was mixed reaction on social media in Indonesia to the couple flying economy, with some believing it was little more than a publicity stunt. One man tweeted: "Living a fake life is difficult. Widodo went to Singapore flying economy but slept in an expensive hotel." A woman praised him, tweeting: "Widodo sets a good example by flying economy. Hopefully other officials can follow in his footsteps."

佐科夫妇的生活非常节俭，这众所周知。他们的生活并不奢华，上个月他成为了世界上第四大人口大国的总统。他的妻子艾莉娜从来没有穿过名牌服装，她还在雅加达的服装市场购物。对于夫妻二人乘坐经济舱出行，印尼社会媒体对这一行为有着不同的看法，许多人相信这仅仅是一次噱头。有人在推特上写到：“过着虚假的生活是很难的。虽然他前往新加坡时飞经济舱，但是却睡在高等的酒店里。”还有一名女性赞扬了他，她在推特中写到：“佐科为飞经济舱的人们树立了榜样。我希望官员可以效仿他。"
