Main points of the new gov't instruction limiting wastefulness

On efficient uses of state-owned assets:

* Limit the use of paper, official stationary only should be used
for external correspondence. Typing should be done using 12-point
Pica, Arial fonts with a 1.5 margin between lines.
* Office vehicles should not be used for non-official purposes,
with gasoline and vehicle maintenance costs scrutinized.
* Electricity usage must include turning off unnecessary lights
in offices which have natural sunlight.
* Use of telephones only for official use.

On adopting a modest lifestyle for officials:

* Avoid hosting official parties at luxury venues.
* Reduce overly extravagant welcome receptions for guests.
* Officials, and their immediate family, are prohibited from
receiving gifts which they suspect are given due to their rank or
position.
* No office anniversary celebrations other than a modest flag-
hoisting ceremony.
* Official trips conducted only when necessary and urgent, and
with a limited entourage.
* Formal attire (suits) only for specific occasions.
