Throughout the year, Proton has been actively supporting MOH in various ways to help in the fight against Covid-19. The loan of the 8 cars to MOH Sabah is in addition to the 50 units of the Proton X70 loaned to the Ministry at the onset of the pandemic in March.

“The Covid-19 pandemic is probably one of the most challenging times we have faced as a nation. As a Malaysian brand, Proton feels that it is our duty to step up, and we have been supporting the government’s efforts from the outset,” said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer of Proton Edar.

“Logistics in Sabah is far more challenging than in the peninsular. This next batch of X70s will act as ferry vehicles for doctors, nurses and MOH officials as and when needed. We hope our contribution will help to ease the logistical needs of medical front-liners in Sabah.”
Other than providing vehicles, Proton also produced 60,000 face shields in April at their Shah Alam factory. These face shields were distributed to government hospitals in the country, as well as other front-liners such as members of the police and armed forces.
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
