The majority support fallacy of the opposition
Salleh Said Keruak
The opposition loves organising ceramah, rallies and protest demonstration so that they can get crowds of people onto the streets and give an impression that the opposition has a large popular support.
The opposition gets 1,000 or 2,000 people onto the streets and they claim that this is proof the majority of Malaysians oppose the government and they then demand that the Prime Minister resigns.
Malaysia has a population of 30 million. About 18.5 million Malaysians are of voting age. About 13.5 million Malaysians are registered to vote. About 5 million Malaysians have not registered to vote. About 11 million Malaysians came out to vote in the 2013 general election. About 5.6 million Malaysians voted for the opposition.
