On August 15, the 2026 PKR National Congress in Melaka recognized the contributions of five former PKR figures with posthumous awards. Four individuals received the Bill Kayong Award, while Syafiq Ali Abdullah, Syafiq's older brother, accepted the Dr Syed Husin Ali Pejuang Rakyat Award on behalf of his brother, who became known as Black for his selfless help to party members.
The Bill Kayong Award, named after the late Sarawak activist Bill Kayong, is given to individuals who made significant contributions to the party's struggle and grassroots work. The Dr Syed Husin Ali Pejuang Rakyat Award was established for the first time to honor Syed Husin's contributions as a PKR founder and advocate for social justice.
The PKR party also celebrated the highest membership registration increase, with 1,354 new ranting (sub-branches) formed in 2026, up from 520 in the previous year, indicating growing grassroots participation among party members.
