He began calling his fans, who often came to his house to listen his free acoustic live performance with "Oi" which literally means "Hey." Thus, the supporters took OI as the name of the fan club and abbreviation of Orang Indonesia (Indonesian People) because the word must have a meaning. The idea of naming Orang Indonesia came from Iwan Fals' foundation, Yayasan Orang Indonesia (Indonesian People Foundation). OI is now led by his wife and running under PT's direction. Tiga Rambu (limited liability firm) is a limited liability firm.
