JAKARTA. Vice president-elect Jusuf Kalla said that he — along with president-elect Joko “Jokowi” Widodo and his Cabinet members — would use old official cars instead of the new vehicles that the current government was previously planning to buy, after the People’s Consultative Assembly inaugurated him on Oct. 20. “My car, a Toyota Crown Royal Saloon, is still in good condition although I have used it for 12 years,” he said recently at his house on Jl. Brawijaya in South Jakarta, as quoted by tribunnews.com. He said that officials at a ministerial level should use official cars with an engine displacement of around 2,000 cubic centimeters (cc). Therefore, their assistants, namely those at a directorate level, should use official cars of lower quality, such as vehicles with an engine displacement of around 1,500cc.
