Hello Alan, I was already fallen to sleep when started this current issue. I assume that you never have read short messages send by internet media from younger Indonesian people, like I am you would be unable to understand what's the meaning!
To answer your question, it's the second, I've seen this abbr. many times, I don't have a facebook page so I use now and then the one from my wife. First time I've seen such a message I've asked my wife which language this is!

Regards,
Detlef
