PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are more concerned about the rising cost of living than the potential “green wave” or rise of extremism, says the Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research (Insap).

The think tank said the ability to sustain themselves amid stagnant incomes and escalating expenses had become the top concern among most Malaysians as price hikes for goods and food were expected in the coming months.
