General : KPKT To Nominate Cleaning Workers Award Recipients For State Honours
PETALING JAYA, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- The Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) plans to nominate recipients of the 2026 Cleaning Workers Award for state honours in recognition of their service and sacrifices in keeping public spaces clean.
Seven cleaning workers from across Malaysia will be nominated for state honors this year, according to Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming. The seven recipients, representing the Federal Territories, Johor, Melaka, Negri Sembilan, Perlis, and Kedah, will receive the prestigious Pingat Kebaktian from their respective state rulers.
This move aims to recognize the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices of Malaysia's cleaning workforce. Nga acknowledged that Penang had already set a precedent in honoring cleaning workers and urged other states to follow suit.
