Sabah Chinese Consolidated Party
The Sabah Chinese Consolidated Party (SCCP) or ms, Parti Cina Bersatu Sabah (PCBS) was a minor party which was formed in 1980. It claimed to represent the Chinese community in Sabah. In the 1981 state elections it joined forces with United Sabah National Organisation (USNO) and United Pasok Nunukragang National Organisation (PASOK) in an electoral pact to oppose to the ruling Sabah People's United Front (BERJAYA) and won one seat for N48 Bandar Tawau. However following the resignation of PCBS sole assemblyman Chan Tze Hiang, this seat was subsequently recaptured by Berjaya. PCBS decided not to contest the 1985 state election, and instead supported Joseph Pairin Kitingan's Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS).

1985 Sabah State Election
The 1985 Sabah state election was held between Saturday, 20 April and Sunday, 21 April 1985. This was the fifth state election to take place. Parti Bersatu Sabah won 25 out 48 seats contested, thus forming government with its president Joseph Pairin Kitingan being sworn in as Chief Minister. This election is a milestone in Sabah political history as it marked the first time that a party not part of the nation's ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) formed government. PBS took control of the state from the previous ruling government under Parti Berjaya—a partner of BN, which has been in power since 1976. Results Aftermath Pairin, himself a former member of Party Berjaya, formed PBS barely 47 days before the elections. Opponents of PBS, namely, Harris Salleh of Berjaya, and Tun Mustapha of USNO were dissatisfied with the result. Tun Mustapha then sought to get sworn in as Chief Minister illegally, and this resulted in a court battle which ended in favour of Pairin. The ele ...

Legislation Under the current legislation, all political parties (termed "Political Associations") must be registered under the Societies Act. Election expenses The Election Offences Act (1954) regulates the maximum expenses allowed for candidates vying for parliamentary seats and for state seats during the campaign period (excluding before the nomination day and after election day). The permissible campaign expenditure set by the Election Offences Act (1954) is RM100,000 per candidate for state seats and RM200,000 per candidate for federal seats.

Politics Of Malaysia
Politics of Malaysia takes place in the framework of a federal representative democratic constitutional monarchy, in which the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is head of state and the Prime Minister of Malaysia is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the federal government and the 13 state governments. Legislative power is vested in the federal parliament and the 13 state assemblies.

The hierarchy of authority in Malaysia, in accordance to the Federal Constitution, stipulates the three branches (administrative components) of the Malaysian government as consisting of the Executive, Judiciary and Legislative branch. Whereas, the Parliament consists of the ''Dewan Negara'' (Upper House/Senate) and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
