Canadian popstar Justin Bieber tweeted his love for Indonesia, after enraging fans in the world’s fifth most populous nation by referring to it as “some random country”. “One rumour I wont stand for is saying what me and my fans have isnt real. Indonesia I see you. i love u. I love ALL MY FANS,” a post on the official @justinbieber Twitter account said. Fans in Indonesia-a country of 240 million people with the third-largest Facebook community in the world and the fifth-biggest number of Twitter accounts-were angered on hearing how Bieber had referred to their nation. “I was in some random country,” British tabloid Daily Mirror quoted the 18-year-old as saying last week, when explaining where one of his new tracks was produced. His manager, Scott ‘Scooter’ Braun, interjected and informed him it was produced in Indonesia, the report said. Fans, or ‘Beliebers’, in the Southeast Asian country, where he performed a sell-out concert in April last year, demanded the young star apologise. Bieber has a sizeable following in Indonesia, with nearly 20,000 followers on the Bieber Indonesia Twitter account and around 45,000 ‘likes’ on the Justin Bieber Indonesia Facebook page. Kiss 105 FM, an Indonesian radio station popular with teenagers, stopped playing Bieber’s songs starting Friday and though many appreciated his latest tweet, they still think he should apologise for his comments.
