Laila Ruhidah, 23, an engineering student, who has always been a proud fan of this singer, expressed her sadness when the official statement was released.

Laila, a Belieber since she was 12 who was excited to see Justin perform for the second time.

“As one of his biggest fans, I am sad that the concert had to be postponed. I have been looking forward to his concert since March. There are rumors saying this might be his last concert,” said Laila during the interview.

Laila went to Justin’s first concert in Malaysia when she was 12 years old. She said she does not remember exactly how she became his fan but since she listened to the song Eenie Meenie, she has been a die-hard fan until today.

“I do think they will continue the concert but definitely not any time soon, as Justin clearly needs time to rest and gain back his energy,” she added.

Another fan, Azri, 24, described his disappointment when Justin had to postpone his concert in Malaysia. He said that he was excited when he saw the official tour of the poster. He also mentioned that this would be his first concert experience.

Azri, a Belieber since highschool who has been waiting for his favorite artist to perform in Malaysia.

“When the news of the tour came out, I was so excited that I woke up early to buy the ticket so I could buy the seat that is nearest to the stage.

“I waited a long time to buy the ticket. It’s been a while since we see any artist come to Malaysia to perform after the pandemic, so I was really looking forward to this Justice Tour, but I understand his health is important,” said Azri.

Azri was also one of Justin’s biggest fans since he was in high school. He did not have the chance to go to Justin’s first concert years ago, so he was excited to see his favorite singer perform live on stage this year.

“The song As Long As You Love Me is still my favorite song of Justin's. I was hoping that he would perform this song during his concert. But what matters now is for him to recover first before he can go back live on stage,” he added.

For Azri, he also thinks that Justin will resume his tour once he feels better. But he hopes that his favorite singer will focus on his health first before continuing his tour back as usual.
