Adeola Fay Robert, a 20-year-old national karate athlete, is set to receive an electric car from Proton as an incentive for winning gold at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. The Malaysian Karate Federation (Makaf) presented the Proton e.Mas to Adeola, who defeated Iran's Fatemehzahra Saeidabadi in the women's below 55-kilogramme kumite final, marking Malaysia's first gold medal of Asiad 2026.
Adeola expressed her gratitude to Makaf, stating that she plans to take the car back to Sabah for her family to use. Adeola comes from a family of educators, with her father teaching science, her mother mathematics, and her elder brother and sister also being teachers. She is currently studying physical education at Institut Pendidikan Guru Ilmu Khas in Cheras with the aspiration of becoming a physical education teacher in the future.
C. Shahmalarani, who also secured a gold medal in the women's below 50kg kumite, will receive a similar Proton e.Mas incentive, though she has not yet disclosed her plans for the vehicle. Makaf president Datuk Nur Azmi Ahmad confirmed that both exponents will receive their cars soon.
