JAKARTA - Coldplay Concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Wednesday, November 22 became the talk of Indonesian netizens. The reason is, on social media a video circulated showing Chris Martin reading the rhyme in front of tens of thousands of viewers.

In Malay, Chris Martin read out a rhyme to greet Malaysian audiences.

"Go to the shop to buy vegetables. Cook tom yam, order bonda. Coldplay is now in Kuala Lumpur. Payung is your favorite song," said Chris Martin, launching the TikTok account @shitzdotmy, Friday, November 24.

Meanwhile, the content of the rhyme can be translated into 'Now Coldplay is present in Kuala Lumpur. Fun you with your favorite songs.'

The rhyme read by Chris Martin as a greeting looks similar to the second rhyme when appearing in Jakarta, which reads "Walk to Senayan, get ready to buy a book". Jakarta-ku dream city, Coldplay is here for you.

The two rhymes differ from Chris Martin's humorous rhyme which went viral on previous social media, where Coldplay's vocalist slipped the phrase "loan a hundred".

"On Tuesday the physics exam, study hard so that you can pass. How are you, Jakarta City? Can you borrow one hundred?" Chris Martin's humorous rhyme in Jakarta.

Warganet also felt that the humorous rhyme read by Chris Martin in Jakarta was different from the other rhymes.

"Keep borrowing the cool one hundred," said one netizen.

"Coldplay borrowing a hundred is still the most flashy for me," said another netizen.
