Read here for more

Population in the country                = 29 million ( 2012 official census)

Population under the age of 21        = 11 million  ( 2012 official census)

(* 29.4% of 0-14 + half of the 17.2% of 15-24 =38% of 29 million  = 11 million ( 2012 July census)

Registered Voters                          =  13 million ( SPR )

Voters who VOTED                       =   10.8 million (SPR)

Malaysians QUALIFIED  to Vote:   29 million (total)  -  11 million (underaged)  =  18 million

Malaysians who DIDN'T BOTHER to vote:  18 million (qualified)  -  13 million(registered)  =  5 million 

Malaysians who REGISTERED but STAYED AT HOME (did NOT turn up to vote):   
13 million (registered) -  10.8 million (who actually voted)  = 2.2 million  

 MALAYSIANS WHO DID NOT  VOTE:  --  11 million (underaged)--  18 million (qualified) - 10.8 million (voted) = 7.2 million (qualified but did not vote)

TOTAL MALAYSIANS WHO DID NOT VOTE = 18.2 million

Of the 18.2 milliion who did NOT  vote, 60.4% (11 million) are under-aged to vote.

The actual number of voters who consciously chose to give up right to vote is 7.2 million only

Therefore,  the figure that there are 23 million ABSENTEE VOTERS  is a MYTH.

In  GE13,  a total of 10.8 million voters caste  their vote out of the 13 milliion  registered, so PR’s 51% is INDEED a majority of people as claimed!!!!

As far as the issue of which majority, seats vis-à-vis votes, that’s a MORAL  issue.
