JAKARTA - Former Dewa 19 drummer, Tyo Nugros, failed to greet his fans in Malaysia after being prevented from leaving the country by the Jakarta I. State Property and Auction Service Office (KPKNL). Due to the sudden ban at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tyo was forced to cancel his appearance at the Dewa 19 concert held at Unifi Arena Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, last weekend.

The absence of Tyo Nugros left a deep disappointment for the Malaysian Baladewa. The reason is that the presence of the drummer is one of the main attractions.

The main character of Dewa 19, Ahmad Dhani, previously revealed that Tyo's participation in this tour was a fulfillment of a special request from fans in Malaysia who missed the classic formation of the band from Surabaya.

Tyo Nugros also confirmed the blocking incident directly through a video recording that was played by the organizers in the middle of the concert.

In his statement, Tyo admitted that he was surprised and did not know at all the background of the problem that made him stuck at the Indonesian immigration gate.

"I apologize for not being able to attend the Dewa 19 concert in Malaysia," said Tyo.

He added that the immigration authorities immediately stopped his steps during the departure document inspection process.

"However, while in the immigration process, I was not allowed to leave because I received a ban from the State Property and Auction Service Office (KPKNL Jakarta 1) for a problem that I did not know at all. Until this statement, I and my family are still trying to find all information related to this problem," added the drummer.

KPKNL itself is an agency under the Directorate General of State Assets (DJKN) of the Ministry of Finance whose authority is to manage state receivables.

However, until now there have been no further details regarding the specific case that dragged Tyo Nugros' name to the point of preventive measures abroad.

Even without the presence of Tyo Nugros, the Dewa 19 concert in Kuala Lumpur still went on with a lively atmosphere. Vocalist Ari Lasso, Virzha, and Ello appeared energetic on stage to treat the audience's disappointment. The Baladewa who filled the arena still showed high enthusiasm and gave an extraordinary appreciation until the show ended.
