Indonesian President Joko Widodo has adopted a spirit austerity flying economy class. People around the world have had to tighten their belts because government cuts and higher taxes. Indonesia's leader has set an example other world leaders that presidents are not exempt making personal cutbacks. He and his wife flew economy class last week Singapore to attend his son's high-school graduation ceremony. Mr Widodo opted not to use the official presidential airplane because his trip was a personal nature. The couple paid the air tickets themselves but the taxpayers footed the bill the security officers who were the flight to protect the president.

The Widodos are becoming known their down-to-earth living. They have led a very modest lifestyle since he became leader the world's fourth most populous country last month. His wife Iriana is never seen designer dresses and does a lot her shopping a Jakarta clothing market. There was mixed reaction social media in Indonesia the couple flying economy, 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 an expensive hotel." A woman praised him, tweeting: "Widodo sets a good example flying economy. Hopefully other officials can follow in his footsteps."
