Summary:The stunning victory of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) in the Sabah state elections of April 1985 set in motion a chain of events unprecedented in Malaysian history. In this book Tan Sri Dr. Tan Chee Khoon charts the origins of PBS from December 1984 when Pairin Kitingan, a popular Kadazan leader and former Berjaya official successfully defied Chief Minister Datuk Harris Salleh by winning a by-election in Tambunan. The reasons for the unexpected victory of the newly formed PBS in the following State elections are also discussed as are the subsequent actions of the defeated ruling party and the beleaguered PBS state government.
