Proton has handed over eight units of the Proton X70 to the ministry of health (MOH) for use in Sabah. The handover ceremony happened yesterday at Fook Loi Corporation’s Proton 4S outlet in Kota Kinabalu.
The fleet of X70s will be used in MOH’s logistics and surveillance efforts in the ongoing fight against Covid-19. This batch of cars is in addition to the 50 units of the X70 loaned to MOH back in March. Proton also donated self-produced face shields to MOH in April.
“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 Proton Edar CEO Roslan Abdullah.
“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 frontliners in Sabah,” he added.

MOH understands that only X70 fits our needs like a glove going into the boondocks at East Malaysia, and survive the trails without killing our backs.
perodua didnt contribute their Aruz? would be useful for getting to remote areas in Sabah. shame on you for being no.1.
Their Jap bosses didnt allow. Said it was a waste of money to donate cars away.
Aruz don’t have N95 cabin filter
The 7 seater Aruz suitable for carrying dead bodies.
How on earth this suv wannabe fwd will suit the sabah hill road? A rwd inova or aruz is more suit i think. Imo. Thanks.
Almost all cars travelling the road there are fwd…what are you talking abt?
And, its Proton donating their cars…not Perodua. If Perodua thinks their car is suitable then they shoud donate too….oh wait, it does not have enough power to climb the hill with full load even with rwd.
