Yeah likely is carb related. Do get it checked. Also equally possible is that you have a vacuum leak somewhere. But that's a bit harder to check sadly..

Concerning leaking vacuum leak, I remembered encountering shaky engine when the hose of the hot idle compensator came off under the air filter housing, leaking air into the intake manifold and making the mixture lean.

There are many vacuum lines and that makes it complicated to find the leak. However there are some websites proposing using the "carb-cleaner trick" to find the leak (admittedly comes with fire-risk) : with engine running at idle speed, spray carb-cleaner at suspected hoses one location at a time, if speed rises, then there is a leak there.

Because of the dangers I would not recommend this method if one is not well prepared for it.

Hi.

My LMST car light is not bright. At night if i open the light it is difficult to see the road.
Can suggest what i should check? I changed the bulb few weeks ago. still the same.
Some people suggest to mod the light to HID. Will it consume many battery power? How much will it cost?

Is your headlamp condition clear? If not then consider polishing it or replacing them (make sure it's ori )

Additionally, check the electrical grounding condition of your car, or electrical resistance to the headlamp

If you want to just inspect the condition of the earthing for the headlamps,
from the information in Haynes manual, I believe the earth is directly under
the respective headlamp, on the bracket for mounting Iswara bumper (LMST
bumper is attached differently but the bracket is still there). But if you want
to access it for tightening, you need to remove the headlamp.

Note that all earth wires are to the chassis only, and the final link to the battery earth
is the black/yellow wire which need to be inspected too.

best to check, i can't comment.

=edit=
additionally, check the tentioner bearing.

when change timing belt, bearing/belt/2 seals will be included in proton ori timing belt kit.
*
Apparently, one of the bearing is having problem. It has been changed and no more weird sound.

Thus far, i only need to add gearbox oil as i know it is leaking. But how i can add for compressor oil?

Good to hear your issue resolve.

For compressor oil, usually it cycle through a machine, along with compressor gas. And it tops up (both gas and oil) both as needed according to specifications.

If the compressor oil leaked, what is the impact?

Is it possible to just top it up like the gearbox oil over a period of time?

eventually you'll need to replace compressor or worse, if the internal damage is too much it may contaminate the entire aircond system and you'll have to replace everything.

price for compressor is ~700-900.
for entire system is around 2-2.5k
