The Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) or the United Sabah Party was formed in founded by Datuk Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who formed the party after falling out with the then Parti Berjaya's president Harris Salleh, who was also the then Chief Minister of Sabah. The ‘Malaysian Multi-Racial Political Party' which the party positions itself is seen by many as a Kadazan-Dusun political party which they claim to be in the struggle to safeguard the states autonomy rights, promote the principles of democracy, economic advancements, human rights and justice. The PBS, won the general elections in 1985, which they then joined the Barisan Nasional coalition after the 1986 state elections. In the following state elections in 1990, PBS withdrew from BN and won the state elections. In 1994, prior to forming the state governments, many PBS representatives switched over to BN which then gave the majority back to the national front. In 2002, PBS rejoined BN which subsequently see the national front heading the state. Datuk Seri Panglima Joseph Pairin Kitingan has had his biggest victory in the elections when he went in as an independent candidate at the Tambunan by-election seat in 1984. This was at a time when he was receiving unending threats, alleged ‘vote-buying' against him, which he eventually won. His victory incited a revolutionary and new stand among politicians in the state for a new change among the arena. It started a new movement whereby the people of Sabah were pushing forth for political change and challenging of rights, disrespect and abuse of political power among many issues. The candidates began to support Datuk Pairin and eventually in 1985, formed the PBS. In the following 1985 state elections, PBS managed to win a landslide 26 out of the 48 Legislative Assembly seats, thereby giving them the simple majority to form the state government, with Datuk Pairin slated to become the Chief Minister. This was then eventful that the losing party attempted in swearing in as the CM, which led to a major court battle, eventually won by PBS. However, the PBS was rulling the state under pressure and PBS issued another state elections in 1986, which they won more convincingly, gathering 34 of the total 48 seats. In the 1990 state elections, PBS won their third term as state government, winning 36 seats. However, PBS left BN in 1990 and went into the 1994 general elections with great challenge from BN candidates, but they managed to win the elections, albeit with a lower majority. But although they won the elections, their ruling term was short lived after an exodus of PBS Assemblymen jumped ship to BN or to independent parties thereby ruling PBS out of the state government which prompted the resignation of Datuk Pairin as Chief Minister. In the subsequent elections, PBS still won their seats although they no longer could form the government. In 2002, PBS rejoined BN. Helmi - MalaysiaToday.com.my

Pairin KItingan, cepat-cepatlah step down. All this time while you're in power, you did nothing for the kadazandusun communities. Bangsa ni jauh ketinggalan berbanding dengan lain-lain bangsa. Cuba lah sendiri pergi ke kawasan-kawasan terpencil seperti di Kota Marudu dan lihat lah bangsamu yang hidup menderita. Kebanyakan mereka IC pun tiada. Entah macam mana kamu boleh berbangga dengan diri mu sedangkan kamu tidak memperolehi apa-apa kejayaan dalam pembangunan negeri Sabah.
...
Dulu Pairin memimpin Rakyat sebab tu Rakyat sokong dia.
...
Kamu urang tidak tahu bersyukur..asyik2 mahu Datuk Pairin resign saja..tidak sedar diri....apa yg kamu tahu pasal politik sabah?susah payah mereka dahulu?semua pemimpin politik di sabah pun kaya..so why just judges him?Sepatutnya salahakan federal Goverment kenapa banyak sangat masalah di Sabah...ne salahakn Datuk Pairin pulak..ingat dia 2 malaikat ka?shame to u
...
tapi saya sanga2 setuju agar pairin step down dr jwtn kerajaan, dn juga parti. bagi laluan kpd dr mx menarajui PBS. sy rasa org dusun/kadazan lebih menghormati dia sekiranya dia tumpuhkan perhatian kpd KDCA. lagipun KDCA tu tiada peranan langsung. organisasi untuk kaamatan. mau bantu org dusun/kadazan jauh sekali. kita tertinggal jauh ke belakang. org asli di sem masia lagi bagus
...
nasihat saya kepada pairin agar keluar dari bn dan baw semua ahli pbs masuk pkr.cuba ingat dari 1995 sampai 2008 apa lah sangat kemajuan yang bn buat untuk sabah.pergilah kat kg2 terlalu banyak lagi yang tidak ada kemudahan sempurna pada hal setiap kali pilihanraya bn janji akan buat kemajuan,,,tapi sampai sekarang apa pun tak nampak
...
Sia sukung penuh kalau DPK keluar BN sekarang dan join PKR. Kami masi sanjung perjuangan DPK, tapi sejak beliau dlam BN macam kerbau kena cucuk idung saja. Cam inda kenal sdh orang Sabah. Baik lagi c Bernard Giluk Dompok sekarang cam brani2 sdh menegak kebenaran. DPK tolong lah bawa PBS keluar BN dan suntik semangat baru membelah rakyat Sabah. Tiada guna kau kayaraya kalau ilang sokongan kami.
...
PBS... dont wait... this is your only opportunity, Join PKR.. give Sabah and Sawark a chance for a better future. Why stick the the fishy UMMO, you know UMMO is the biggest con of all time. We dont have much time left.. PBS do something pratrotic by joing the opposition...

TO Pairin,

You who accused Pairin of having amased wealth during his difficult time as CM from Sabah...can you prove it? Compare him with the good-for-nothing CMs after him including the stupid "pengiliran KM" introduced by the stupid keling until the present Musa Aman(except Chong Kah Kiat)...sapa tidak tau dorang lagi kaya...banyak rasuah...judi pakai duit rakyat...kontrak jalan sini sana...nah tu Musa Jamban bolot smua....kamurang tidak cakap apa-apa pula! buduh la kamu...tu la, lain kali mau main tuduh-tuduh cari la fakta dulu!!

i agree with everyone comment sebab kita ada hak untuk negeri kita. ada satu hal yang selalu kita lupa. 11 perkara untuk sabah yg telah dijanjikan semasa the reformation of malaysai.we must go for it! what project we gain for the people's....as being promised Gas Plant coming soon and Kimanis Pipe line to start.Bila lagi ni... publish the information to all district.as of our observation our minister is getting their manpower from outside malaysia for gainng big money. (bangla, thais, indon) there are planty of sabahan skill worker for oil and gas. please do something for our own people. at least our minister can minimize the situation of sabahan.
...
so...members yang terbaca comment ni sila rujuk perkara project of Gas Plant kat sabah tu dan Kimanis pipeline construction. kalau nak menyalahkan minister kita tu..buang masa saja, naik darah tinggi nanti.do support Bernard Dompok fighting for our royalty. Pairin we still need you in our faith to develop the people and sharing to make the different in our children future. |
