Compromise seems to be the only way forward for politicians in Malaysia.
That is after a very tight race left parliament with no clear winner.
A coalition between the main runners is now the only way to form a government.
If a compromise is not agreed, the king can appoint a politician as the prime minister who he believes can command a majority in parliament.
So what happens now?
And what does it mean for the country's democracy?
