The Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS, or United Sabah Party) is a political party in Sabah, Malaysia. It was registered as a political party on 5 March 1985. The founding president was Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who broke away from the ruling Parti Berjaya because of his differences with party president Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Harris Salleh, the Chief Minister in whose cabinet Pairin served before the break.
Although it is mainly seen as an ethnically-based Kadazan-Dusun political party, PBS calls itself a "Malaysian multi-racial political party" in which members are mostly of Kadazan-Dusun (from both the Dusunic plus Paitanic ethnolinguistic groups) and Murut (including the Lundayeh subgroup) ethnic descent though the second and third largest ethnic membership are mostly Muslim Bumiputeras, mostly ethnic local Sabahan based ethnic Malay race (Bruneian Malays and Cocos Malays), and also from the Bajau community of peoples, which is the second-largest ethnic Bumiputra in the state including the Iranun subgroup and some Suluk together with the Chinese (alongside those of mixed-race or "Sino-Native" subgroup of the Chinese minority) and its declared political mission is to strive to safeguard Sabah's autonomy and states rights, promote democratic principles, economic advancement, human rights, and justice.
