The Sabah Chinese Association (Malay : Persatuan Cina Sabah , SCA) was a Chinese political party in the North Borneo and the Sabah state of Malaysia .
History
The party was established in October 1962 as Borneo Utara National Party , a merger of the United Party and the Democratic Party after encouragement from the Malayan Chinese Association .[ 1] [ 2] Both parties had been founded earlier in the year; the United Party by Khoo Siak Chew in Sandakan and the Democratic Party by Peter Chin in Jesselton .[ 2] It was later renamed the Sabah National Party , before becoming the Sabah Chinese Association in 1965 when it merged with a non-political organisation by the same name.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3]
SCA's Peter Lo Sui Yin was the second Chief Minister of Sabah from 1965 to 1967.[ 4] [ 5]
Following the merger, the new party contested the local elections in an alliance with the United Sabah National Organisation and the United Pasokmomogun Kadazan Organisation . It won five seats in the 1967 Sabah state election ,[ 6] and three seats in the 1969 Malaysian general election , and retained all three in the 1974 Malaysian general election , in which it was part of the Barisan Nasional . However, it failed to win a seat in the 1976 Sabah state election , defeated by the Sabah People's United Front in every seat it contested;[ 7] following the defeat, it was later dissolved.[ 8]
