Forum 'No single player could get all his/her wishes. As a simple rule, a player with “higher” seats in the Dewan is expected to get more Cabinet posts, though there could be other rules and constraints that take precedence.' - Mohammad Abdul Hamid
Given Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s well-known reform agenda, the biggest upset is probably the appointment of Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is facing multiple court cases, as a Deputy Prime Minister. However, the line-up is probably an optimum outcome given the circumstances.Game theory is simply strategic interactions between two or more players as each player attempts to further their interests.
In negotiating, each player attempts to maximise his/her payoffs . Note that in this “game”, failure to reach an agreement would lead to an unstable government, a situation in which every player would lose . An “equilibrium” is achieved when any further move by any player would no longer change the outcome of the game. This was when all players had maximised their gains and the game ended. Cabinet posts were finalised and the Prime Minister announced the outcome, which we saw on Friday night.
