The constitution of IKATAN was amended to change the name of the party to the National Justice Party () (KeADILan) and relaunched on 4 April 1999 during the Reformasi movement. It was subsequently renamed again as People's Justice Party () (PKR) after the merger with Malaysian People's Party () (PRM) on 3 August 2003.
