#KL112 HKR Part II

This is just a short posting on the statement made by the Home Minister, Hishamuddin Tun Hussein regarding the #KL122 HKR rally ... He was quoted as saying the crowd who attended the rally did not represent the majority of the Malaysians population of 28 million ... Your Excellency Mr. Minister Sir, on the issue of "majority of our 28 millions population" let's ponder the following points: 1. Out of this 28 million, we have to knock of about 10 million of those age below 15 years. We have to abide by the Akta Perhimpunan Aman anyway which forbids those age 15 years of age from attending any rally .....; 2. That leaves us with a figure of 18 million i.e. those age from 16 to 64 as per the National Census conducted in 2010; 3. However, the most important factor in determining "majority" in a politically democratic state is the number of registered voters ,,, As at 4 June 2012, it was reported that 13 million had Malaysians had registered as voters; 4. Consider this i.e. the result of the popular votes secured by BN in PRU 12. In Peninsular Malaysia, BN only secured 48.1% of the popular votes ... Only to be saved by the votes in Sabah and Sarawak making the tital of 51.2% popular votes for BN as a whole .... The question is, does the above what Your Excellency meant by "the majority of the 28 millions of Malaysians."?
