Chinese Politics in Sarawak

The Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) is Sarawak's oldest political party. This book explains how the SUPP has been able to change from a left-wing, anti-Malaysia political entity into an establishment Barisan Nacional (BN) component party without losing the support of the Sarawak Chinese community. This is in contrast with other Chinese-based BN political parties such as the Malyasian Chinese Association (MCA) and Gerakan which have increasingly seen a deterioration of their Chinese electoral support.
