When the turn-signal misbehaves again try this:
immediatedly switch on the hazard lights.
If the hazard lights work, then it is not
the flasher relay unit, but could be fuse contacts, or
steering column switch, or hazard light switch.
If the hazard lights also does not work, then the flasher
relay or hazard light switch could be suspect.
Note that the hazard and turn-signal circuits share the
same flasher relay and both passes thru the hazard switch,
but uses different supply circuits and fuses.
(I also would like to get hold of a copy of Proton service manual,
now just make do with Haynes + bits from internet)
From the look of it, it could be fuse contact issue. Not relay.

Try Albert B's troubleshooting. If not then get a new switch column before the worse happens. My steering column switch experience:
Symptoms:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Stage 1:
Turn on small light and low beam. Put/Tap signal left or right, when signal stalk resets back (Bounce back), low beam and car interior lights will go off and recovered to on.
Stage 2:
Do high beam and small light will go off for while.
Can't do high beam for long as it'll reset to no lights at all, not even low beam or small light!
Stage 3: (Critical)
The virus had infected your low beam, once you tap signal or signal bounce back no low beam for 1 sec or more. Jiggle jiggle wiggle wiggle the stalk (nicely and at the accurate position) will bring back your lights to life.
DO CHANGE YOUR STEERING COLUMN SWITCH AT THIS STAGE. This stage makes my car battery flat for 3-8 times in a month! When I reached and parked, the light (small light/+low beam) looks off as the contacts are out of position. But actually the switch is not off. Once ada angin ke gila ke hantu ke, there'll be auto headlight for you and you're stranded with flat battery.
Stage 4: (Nak tunggu saman?)
Headlight suddenly off while driving, small light is functioning. Tapping signal does not give me my low beam back like I always do. Resort to use Highbeam, then highbeam finally gone also. Drive with low beam saje whole way in midnight.
The switch costs approx <120 for OEM, cheaper version <80 (Wanna get ORI but they say no more, P1 Parts Centre ignored me). Advise to change on stage 3 as you sure know its the switch problem. Changing requires taking out steering.
Not even Stage 1 yet.

But I am not pro in mechanic so cannot contribute anything but just absorbing.
