KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay Inc, a global leader in the cosmetics industry, has unveiled the first-ever all-electric version of its iconic pink Cadillac, marking a significant milestone in the brand's commitment to sustainability and innovation.
The new pink Cadillac OPTIQ made its debut during the company's annual seminar, which was hosted for the first time in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Mary Kay in a statement said the shift from an internal combustion engine to a fully electric vehicle (EV) represents more than a technological upgrade; it embodies a renewed vision for the future of the brand.
'For decades, the Mary Kay pink Cadillac has symbolised accomplishment and aspiration. The introduction of the all-electric OPTIQ honours that legacy while reflecting our ongoing commitment to sustainability and the success of our independent sales force,' said its Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Rogers.
The initiative was also praised by GM Envolve Vice President, Ian Hucker, who reaffirmed the long-standing partnership between Cadillac and Mary Kay.
'Our relationship with Mary Kay spans decades and is built on shared values of innovation, empowerment, and excellence. The pink Cadillac OPTIQ is a meaningful step forward in both performance and purpose,' he added.
Retaining its signature pink pearl exterior, the Cadillac OPTIQ features a modern chassis with improved aerodynamics and advanced EV technology.
It delivers an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-estimated range of 302 miles (approximately 486 kilometres), powered by the General Motors (GM) EV Battery Platform and energy-efficient design elements.
The vehicle also boasts a spacious, tech-enhanced interior with illuminated décor and a 19-speaker AKG Audio System equipped with Dolby Atmos for an immersive experience.

Tabung Pahlawan Campaign Has Raises RM2.18 Mln

ALOR GAJAH, July 27 (Bernama) -- The 2025 Tabung Pahlawan Campaign, launched in conjunction with Warriors' Day, has raised RM2.186 million as of July 24, reflecting the people's continued support towards the welfare of Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) veterans. Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari said to widen outreach and simplify contributions, the ministry had also introduced a QR code donation campaign as an alternative, targeting a minimum of RM1 from every Malaysian. 'Malaysia has more than 34 million people, imagine if every person contributes at least RM1, the impact would be tremendous. 'That's why we've launched the QR code campaign, which is now widely circulated via social media and official government channels. We hope this will encourage more people to contribute,' he told Bernama after attending a high tea event with Melaka MAF veterans, in conjunction with the 2025 Warriors' Day celebration at Dataran Gangsa, here today. Also present were Veterans' Affairs Department (JHEV) director-general Maj Gen Datuk Semaon Marjuki and JHEV Melaka and Negeri Sembilan director, Major Muhammad Zarifi Tumin. Earlier at the event, 120 MAF veterans from Melaka, representing 22 associations, were celebrated. They were presented with contributions, including Cost of Living Aid, Higher Education Aid, Home Repair Assistance, and 'Bakul Rahmah' food baskets. At the same time, Adly said 151,000 MAF veterans had registered and were now using the Veteran Digital Card, which was introduced in September last year. 'With the digital card, veterans no longer need to carry a physical card as all their information is now accessible on their smartphones. So for those who haven't made the switch, we strongly encourage them to do so and to update their information. 'Although the physical card is still in use, the digital version offers easier access for members, especially to information on health, welfare, and other services,' he said.

Anwar will be accompanied by Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Abang Openg; Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor; Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan; Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail; Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz; Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek. 'This Annual Consultation represents the highest-level bilateral mechanism between Malaysia and Indonesia, aimed at reinforcing strategic and comprehensive cooperation,' Malaysian Ambassador to Indonesia Datuk Syed Mohamad Hasrin Tengku Hussin said during a media briefing here on Sunday. He said the Annual Consultation, convened alternately between the two countries since 2006, reflects the strong political commitment of both nations to enhance collaboration across a wide range of sectors, including trade and investment, defence and security, connectivity, food security and education. 'The leaders are expected to exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest,' he said, adding that a Joint Statement will be issued at the conclusion of the consultation. The previous consultation was held in 2017, making this a timely opportunity for both leaders to reaffirm their strategic partnership and explore new areas of cooperation in response to current regional and global challenges. Syed Mohamad Hasrin said the leaders will also witness the exchange of four Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) in the areas of land border, health cooperation and information and communications technology. During the visit, he said the Prime Minister is also scheduled to visit the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, at the invitation of the ASEAN Secretary-General, Dr Kao Kim Hourn. Anwar will also deliver a Policy Speech on ASEAN in the context of Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship in 2025, underscoring Malaysia's ongoing commitment to regional integration and community-building. In 2024, Indonesia ranked as Malaysia's sixth-largest global trading partner and the second largest within ASEAN. Bilateral trade increased by 4.5 per cent from RM111.21 billion (US$24.39 billion) in 2023 to RM116.29 billion (US$25.5 billion) in 2024. – Bernama anwar ibrahim bilateral relations indonesia Prabowo Subianto
