Silent majority as in Absent Voters can make a Big difference

I am refering to Malaysia-Finance Blogspot's post, Why we must vote
http://malaysiafinance.blogspot.com/2013/04/why-we-must-vote.html

which has the following extract from a list of BN's successful candidates in GE12:

I wish to highlight just a few who are caretaker ministers or deputy minister and are defending their respective parliamentary seats in GE13:

P 09 Alor Setar BN's Chor Chee Heung (Housing & Local Govt), Absent voters 15,751, Majority 184, Absent voters > Majority 15,567;
P 70 Kampar    BN's Lee Chee Leong (Deputy Home), Absent voters 20,831, Majority 2697, Absent voters > Majority 18,134;
P 74 Lumut       BN's Kong Cho Ha (Transport), Absent voters 16,833, Majority 298, Absent voters > Majority 16,535; and
P 75 Bagan Datok BN's Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (Defence) Absent voters 10,256, Majority 2,692, Absent voters > Majority 7,564.

All these so-called heavyweight politicians are actually at the mercy of voters, especially those who did not exercise their right to vote. The combined total of absent voters in each constituency (based on previous GE results) shows they could have easily changed who should have been the winner.
