JAKARTA - Ferdinand Hutahaean received attention from Twitter netizens because of a tweet that said Lamongan was in Central Java. Even though administratively, the regency which is located on the north coast is in East Java.

Criticism and invitations to Ferdinand to learn to see the map of Indonesia were crowded with netizens on the application bearing the bluebird. As of 5:30 a.m, Tuesday, October 5, the Lamongan hashtag was trending with 2,660 Tweets.

Lamongan in Central Java began when Ferdinand satirized the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan on his Twitter account, @FerdinandHaean3. Ferdinand said Anies had a beggar mentality followed Anies' letter to the founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies, Michael R. Bloomberg.

Anies was accused of 'asking for rations' for the anti-smoking campaign. "It's useless to ask Anies for an explanation because he won't answer. It's better to ASK TO QUIT, so that Jakarta doesn't get worse," wrote Ferdinand on his Twitter account @FerdinandHaean3.

According to Ferdinand, tobacco has important economic value for farmers. Thus, the anti-smoking campaign launched by Anies is not appropriate because it is one of the income sectors for farmers.

"Anies campaigns against smoking, Lamongan Central Java develops tobacco, cigarette excise is the largest contributor to state revenue, even above the oil and gas and mining sectors. Anies never knows what this means, he wants to connect with the outside world but he's not good at how to play. BEGGAR MENTALITY," wrote Ferdinand.

It was because of this "Lamongan Central Java" tweet, that Ferdinand was lectured by netizens. "Lamongan is in East Java, boy," a netizen tweeted.

"Blind map quiz. The question, Lamongan City is located in? Those who can't answer mean FerdinandHaean's student," said another netizen.

"This kind of people is telling others to set their brains???? Stop feeling the greatest, omg, Fyi Lamongan is in East Java, uncle," said another.
