JAKARTA: Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Sandiaga Uno has urged the public to stay calm as calls grow to boycott American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars’ upcoming Jakarta concert over his alleged support for Israel in the Gaza war.
Criticism against Mars has been amplified by social media posts shared as evidence of the United States musician backing the Israeli military campaign against militant group Hamas, a conflict that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of civilians in the Palestinian exclave.
