Politicians in Malaysia must learn from Indonesia’s recent turmoil, Rafizi Ramli warned, stressing that public anger can boil over when economic growth fails to translate into fair wages amid a backdrop of elites flaunting their wealth.

The PKR lawmaker highlighted that while Indonesia’s macroeconomic indicators showed strong performance, frustrations over living costs and the lavish lifestyles of its political class fuelled public protests - a scenario he said Malaysian leaders should be wary of repeating.
