Race and politics

The Love Sabah Party (Malay: Parti Cinta Sabah; abbrev: PCS) is a political party of Sabah, Malaysia.[1][2] The PCS is a relatively new party and was among 20 new party registrations approved by the Registrar of Society in 2013.[3][4]

PCS joined together with the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and State Reform Party (STAR) in the United Sabah Alliance (USA),[5] but later left the coalition over disagreements.[6] The party then signed political pact with the Sabah Native Co-operation Party in March 2018 with the ultimate goal to restore the rights, dignity and identity of the ‘Anak Negeri’ (native) or the firstborn in the state of Sabah.[7]

Anifah Aman took over as President from his outgoing predecessor Wilfred Bumburing who was elected as the new Deputy President after winning the position uncontested during the party 2nd Biennal General Meeting on 26 July 2020.[8] The party BGM also passed an resolution for the party to be renamed as Sabah People's Awareness Party (Parti Kesedaran Rakyat Sabah), with a new flag and symbol upon RoS approval.[9] In 2022, the rebranding process of this party has been cancelled due to many of the party member that doesn't agree with the new name. In 2024, the party has been accepted into Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) political coalition, who governs Sabah at the time.[10]
