Thank you

1. The DAP leadership said I was not dropped but was instead offered to stand in Cameron Highlands.
2. This is inaccurate.
3. On October 16th, I was told that the Pahang DAP state committee has decided to remove me from Bentong. I will also not be contesting any seats in Pahang. I am to disappear from Pahang completely.
4. There was a strong adverse reaction from the ground especially among Bentong party members upon hearing this news.
5. They find the party’s decision illogical. The team has worked hard over the years to serve the people.
6. Bentong is a large constituency. It is two and a half times bigger than Singapore with four state constituencies (Ketari, Bilut, sabai and Pelangai) under it.
7. Over the past few years, the people of Bentong have faced so many challenges especially the MCO, big Karak fire and the devastating flood. We have been hitting the ground running to help the people regardless of race, religion and political backgrounds the best we could. I believe many locals can attest to this.
8. We are confident the people will give us the mandate again.
9. I then made it crystal clear to the party that the Bentong members and I will be standing firm in Bentong.
10. The party then offered me the Cameron Highlands seat.
11. I immediately declined the offer.
12. Anthony Loke asked to meet on 23rd October. This is the first time I meet a top leader of the party on this matter.
13. Though I have informed the party of my decision on Cameron Highlands multiple times, he asked me to reconsider. I told him I will convey what we have discussed in the meeting with the Bentong grassroot members and get back to him within 24 hours.
14. I do not not belong to any faction within the party. I am not interested and have never played party politics.
15. Politics must be about the people. It should not be a game of rhetorics, manipulations or hollow strategies just to win elections.
16. It is time to plant the seeds to build a platform for real people’s power in politics, and I hope it starts from Bentong.

原任文冬国会议员黄德对于行动党领导层献意转战金马仑国席，作出申明如下：
1. 行动党领导层说我没有被除名，而是被提议转战金马仑国席。
2. 这是不确实的。
3. 于10月16日当天，彭亨州行动党州委员会已议决把我从文冬除名，同时不会被纳入彭亨州竞选任何席位。不会再出现在彭亨州竞选名单内。
4. 听到这个消息，当地特别是文冬党员的反应强烈。
5. 他们认为党的决定不符合逻辑。 多年来，本团队努力为人民作出服务和贡献。
6. 文冬国席属于大的选区。 它比新加坡大上两个半。 属下有四个州议席，分别是吉打理、美律、沙拜和柏朗艾。
7. 过去几年，文冬人民面临着许多挑战，尤其是行动管制令、加叻大火灾和大洪水。 我们一直在努力帮助民众，不分种族、宗教和政治背景，我们都尽所能。
8. 我深信文冬当地人可以证明这一点。 也相信人民会再次赋予我们委托。
9. 在此，我要向党明确的表示，文冬党员及包括我，我们对文冬国席的立场，是保持着一致坚不移，是要留守文冬国席。
10. 党领导层随后却献意我，转战金马仑国席席位位。
11. 我立即拒绝了这个献意。
12. 行动党秘书长卢兆福随后，与我 在 10 月 23 日会面。 这是我第一次就此事与党的最高领导人详谈。
13. 虽然我多次告诉他们我对金马仑国席的决定，但他们要求我重新考虑。 我告诉他们，我会先与文冬基层党员会谈后，并于 24 小时内回复他们。
14. 我在此申明，在党内我没有属于任何派系，我也不感兴趣，及不想涉入党政治派系中。
15. 政治必须以人民为本，而不是单纯透过花言巧语的政治言论、民意操控以及虚无的策略，只为了赢得选举。
16. 我希望在文冬塔建真正的民权政治平台，及播下和树立正确的政治风气。
黄德
