Five PKR figures honoured with posthumous awards

The 2026 PKR National Congress in Melaka honored five former party figures with posthumous awards on August 15. The Bill Kayong Award, named after a late Sarawak activist, was given to four individuals for their significant contributions to the party and grassroots work. The fifth award, the Dr Syed Husin Ali Pejuang Rakyat Award, recognized late Syed Husin Ali for his roles as a PKR founder and advocate of social justice.

Former senator Datuk Mustafa Kamal Mohd Yusoff, also known as Pak Mus, received this latter award in recognition of his dedication to the party’s electoral machinery and understanding of election operations. The Tawau branch of PKR in Sabah topped the Highest Membership Registration Award, followed by the Bukit Gantang branch in Perak and the Indera Mahkota branch in Pahang.

The number of new Keadilan ranting increased to 1,354 this year, up from 520 the previous year, indicating growing grassroots involvement among party members.
