The results of the United States mid-term elections have highlighted the importance of addressing cost-of-living issues to voters worldwide, according to DAP adviser Lim Guan Eng. Despite the US economy growing by 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2026, the Republican Party lost seats in the Senate and Congress. Lim pointed out that this was a warning for Malaysia, where similar economic challenges exist.
The country's economy is divided into two layers - high-tech growth benefiting a few sectors while the majority of working-class individuals struggle with rising living costs and compliance issues such as income taxation. Lim emphasized that Malaysian policymakers should take note of the US election outcome, listening to the concerns of the working class and implementing policies that reduce costs and improve the value of wages.
He warned that if these issues are not addressed, Malaysian leadership may also face losses in the next general election.
