Race and politics

Sabah People's Ideas Party (Malay: Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah; abbrev: GAGASAN or PGRS) is a regionalist political party based in Sabah, East Malaysia. Founded in August 2013 by the late Ationg Tituh, continued by Stephen Jacob Jimbangan in 2021, the party was then taken over by Hajiji Noor in 2023 and is currently the largest party in Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS), the ruling coalition in Sabah.[5]

History

[edit]

The party was founded on 28 August 2013 by the late Ationg Tituh as a successor to the dissolved United People's Justice Front Party (AKAR)[6] but remained dormant until 2016 due to a lack of funds and manpower.[7]

GAGASAN was a member to a failed merger involving Love Sabah Party, Sabah Native Cooperation Party, and a yet-to-be-registered Parti Hak Sabah with Anifah Aman as president.[8][9] Prior to the party's takeover by Hajiji in 2023, it was dominated by the Kadazan-Dusun-Murut-Rungus (KDMR), an amalgamation of related indigenous ethnic groups.[10][11]

Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor announced his takeover of the party on 29 January 2023, with the party having been accepted into the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition, which Hajiji also led, on 9 December 2022.[12] The four members of parliament who left the Malaysian United Indigenous Party of Sabah in December 2022 were not allowed to join GAGASAN as a result of the federal anti-party hopping law.[13]

The party gained 26 members of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly over the course of the 2023 Sabah political crisis.
