Traveloka management explained, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Derianto Kusuma was not present at the 90th Anniversary of Kanisius College on Saturday night, November 11 2017, because he was on a business trip. In the event, Ananda Sukarlan had time to walk out.

"He was unable to attend because he was on an official trip that had been planned a few months earlier," said Traveloka Public Relations Manager Busyra Oryza, Tuesday, November 14 2017.

The explanation was given by Busyra because the hashtag #UninstallTraveloka became a trending topic on Twitter on Tuesday.

On social media, rumors spread that Derianto Kusuma, who is an alumnus of Kanisius High School, congratulated pianist Ananda Sukarlan.

The pianist walked out of the room when DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan gave a speech at the 90th Anniversary of Kanisius College.

Ananda did protest against the committee by walking out for inviting Anies. He considers Anies's figure to be contrary to the value of pluralism, which is taught at Canisius College.

Spokesman for the Jakarta Kanisius College Alumni Association, Affan Alamudi, clarified that Derianto did not attend the event because he was in America.

In the event that took place in Kemayoran, Kanisius College gave awards to alumni who were considered outstanding and contributed to the nation's work.

Recipients of the award include Ananda Sukarlan (composer and pianist), Derianto Kusuma (founder of Traveloka), Father Magnis Suseno (Jesuit figure), Irwan Ismaun Soenggono (scout leader), and Boenjamin Setiawan (founder of Kalbe Farma).

In the award ceremony, Derianto was represented by his mother.

"We are quite shocked. These are lies. How could he walk out. Not even in Indonesia," Affan told Tempo, Tuesday, regarding WO Ananda Sukarlan.
