Invitations to uninstall the Traveloka application in the past two days have been circulating on social media timelines. This was apparently triggered by pianist Ananda Sukarlan's walk out when the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan gave a speech.
The walk out took place during the 90th anniversary of the founding of Kanisius College on Saturday (11/11), at Hall D JIExpo Kemayoran. Ananda stood up from his VIP seat and walked out when Anies gave his speech. Ananda's action was followed by a number of other alumni.
Based on information circulating on the timeline, one of the founders and CTO of Traveloka, Derianto Kusuma, greeted and congratulated Ananda after the walk out and Anies' speech, which was considered as support for Ananda's action.
I don't know who started it, this information then provoked some netizens to boycott Traveloka, including netizens from Banten. The hashtag #BoikotTraveloka has become one of Indonesia's trending Twitter topics.
One of the netizens from Cilegon City who currently lives in Qatar, Rahmat (40) said that he did not agree with the attitude of Ananda and Derianto, the founder of Traveloka, who took the WO action at the Kanisius event. "Their attitude is intolerant because they mix politics and education," said Rahmat.
The same thing was expressed by Rina (39), a garment entrepreneur from Tangerang who also uploaded her Facebook timeline. "From now on bye-bye Traveloka, it's better to buy tickets at neighboring travel," said Rina
