JAKARTA History today, 11 years ago, October 2, 2014, the President-elect, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has discussed that ministers in his cabinet must wear caps and batik. This effort is considered by Jokowi to improve the people's economy - especially batik and cap craftsmen.

Previously, Jokowi often packaged an image as a simple leader figure. The clothes he used were never luxurious. He wears a simple shirt. His pants and shoes are also cheap. The narrative made him considered a populist leader.

Jokowi's presence on the political stage brought a stir. The blusukan style of the Mayor of Surakarta became the best known. He often goes in and out of the village only to come into contact with the community. The way to shop for problems allows him to know firsthand all kinds of problems.

As a result, Jokowi could produce a lot of pro-people policies. Recently, Jokowi's echoes have increased. He got the spotlight everywhere. Jokowi was also partnered with his party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) participating in the 2012 DKI Jakarta Pilkada.

Jokowi is considered to have attracted Jakarta residents to choose him. Moreover, at that time Jokowi was paired with an anti-corruption figure, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). The Jokowi-Ahok duet is unbeaten. Both are the new Governors and Deputy Governors of DKI Jakarta.

Jokowi's charm as the Governor of DKI Jakarta did not recede. Jokowi is like ahuge. All kinds of Jokowi's movements are national news. The image of Jokowi's simplicity spread throughout the archipelago. Jokowi in his daily activities often wears simple shirts.

He also wears cheap pants and shoes. In fact, it can be found anywhere. As a result, he is considered a populist leader. This condition makes many people hope that Jokowi will become the next Indonesian leader.

Ulam's beloved pinnacle arrives. That wish is a reply. Jokowi was promoted by PDIP to become a presidential candidate in the 2014 presidential election. He was paired with a seasoned politician, Jusuf Kalla. Jokowi and Jusuf Kalla were then able to become elected Presidents and Vice Presidents.

The character. I have never seen political figures or other inspiring leaders like him. Many regional leaders, when we held concerts in the regions, followed Jokowi's leadership style, from blusukan, not corruption, to simple. Jokowi is a benchmark for leadership that so far has not existed," said Slank band guitarist Abdee Negara as quoted by Heru Triyono and Nurdiansyah in Tempo magazine entitled Kita Must Fight for Change (2014).

The victory made Jokowi already imagine how his cabinet will run on October 2, 2014. Jokowi plans to have the minister who helps emerge as a simple figure like him.

Jokowi also discussed a policy so that ministers are required to use peci and batik every day. He considered that the policy would later have a major impact on the people's economy, especially on batik and cap craftsmen. The inspiration arose because Jokowi was in Pasaraya Blok M which coincided with National Batik Day.

Our wishes will later become ministers and officials if the meeting doesn't have to wear a suit but only use batik. I imagine every day, four or five times a week wearing batik and a cap a day wearing white clothes. Just wear the suit once a year. Thus the small industry can move.

"Our total population is 250 million. Adult men are 80 million. The average cap price is IDR 75 thousand. If you have one cap, then 80 million times IDR 75 thousand can be IDR 6 trillion. If you have 2 caps, you can reach IDR 12 trillion. Don't make it difficult. The simple one can cause an economic spike. All officials must wear a cap. The production of the cap immediately increases, "said Jokowi as quoted on the website, October 2, 2014.
