social harmonious of the country. On the contrary, instability of a political power of a country may

As the conclusion based on the analysis of game theory BN had applied the game theory that combined hard and smart political power, while on the other hand, PR/PH had utilised combined soft and smart political power in the previous two GEs. Keduadua parti politik, BN dan PR/PH mengamalkan pendekatan teori permainan yang berbeza. Both of the political parties, BN and PR/PH practiced a different game theory approach. |
