The Parti Bersatu Rakyat Malaysia (BERSAMA) is a political party in Malaysia. Originally known as Parti Demokratik Setiahati Kuasa Rakyat Bersatu Sabah (SETIA), it changed the name as such after it extends to Peninsular Malaysia on 23 March 2011.[1] [2]
History[edit]
The Malaysia United People's Party or ( BEERSAMA) formerly known as the United Sabah People's Power Democratic Party (SETIA), is a political party in Malaysia. SETIA was initially founded in 1994 by Shuhaiddin Langkap in the state of Sabah. Despite its Bumiputera-centric platform, membership was open to all ethnicities, and its leadership included representatives from various communities. The party contested as the opposition in Sabah state elections. SETIA rebranded as BERSAMA on March 23, 2011, expanding its reach to the peninsular region. In 2023, party leadership made significant changes, including restructuring the leadership. This included a re-election of top leaders through appointments and elections, as many original leaders not only lost confidence in the then-president, Nazry Roy but also left the party entirely, no longer fully engaging with BERSAMA.[3][4]
Restructuring[edit]
BERSAMA has undergone a phase of restructuring since August 2023, when many from the peninsular region, including Kuala Lumpur, under the leadership of the then Secretary-General, Danial, joined the party. Subsequently, BERSAMA's leadership renewed its internal policies for the advancement and restructuring of the party from grassroots level. Expulsion of Shuhaiddin Langkap from BERSAMA.[citation needed]
Expulsion of Shuhaiddin Langkap from BERSAMA[edit]
The expulsion of Shuhaiddin Langkap from BERSAMA occurred between October and November 2023. This action was initiated by then-president Nazry Roy following discussions with Mr. Langkap. It was determined that Mr. Langkap would immediately cease to be a member of the party due to several complaints alleging his conduct tarnished the party's reputation, including allegations of improper solicitation of both public and private funds. An agreement between Langkap and party leadership facilitated this decision. Consequently, Langkap forfeited any authority or permission to engage in party matters. Furthermore, Langkap's expulsion underscored significant issues within BERSAMA's leadership. Since the founding of the party, Langkap's leadership had been marred by failures to guide the party in the right direction. His expulsion marked a turning point for BERSAMA, signaling a renewed commitment to integrity and ethical conduct within the party. Moving forward, the party aimed to overcome internal challenges and focus on its core principles to better serve the interests of its members and the Malaysian people.[5]
Danial as the new President of BERSAMA[edit]
Danial was choosed as the new President of BERSAMA through an Emergency Meeting held in December 2023. His appointment signifies a pivotal moment for the party, as he emerges as the leader tasked with revitalizing BERSAMA's presence in the Malaysian political arena.[6][7][8]
