Fatehah Mustapa had earlier bagged the 110th gold medal for Malaysia and the third from track cycling for the day after easing past fellow Malaysian Farina Shawati Mohd Adnan in the women's keirin final.
It was the second gold for Fatehah, who combined with Farina to win the team sprint title on Sunday.
