Malaysia 🇲🇾
Limited disruption pressure across 46 representative jobs covering 90.8% of the country's modelled GDP. The Rebellion Risk profile adds a structural-pressure view of how disruption may interact with economic strain, governance, civic space, support systems, and history. Government Preparedness then measures observable capacity to prevent, absorb, and respond to AI-related shocks. These are evidence indexes, not forecasts.

No economically motivated protest is recorded for this country in the selective Carnegie tracker. This is not evidence that none occurred.
Confidence is reduced for modelled inputs. Social protection uses the ILO's 2023 upper middle income group estimate because a complete country-level public download was unavailable. Other fallback fields: none.

Prevention carries 40% of the final score. Absorption and response each carry 30%. The geometric mean limits compensation when one stage is materially weaker.
Confidence is reduced for modelled inputs. Social protection uses the ILO's 2023 upper middle income estimate. Other fallbacks: none.
