Sabah state election, 1994
The 1994 Sabah state election was held in February that year in the Malaysian state of Sabah. The election was one of the most controversial election in Sabah's political history. The election was won by the opposition party Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), winning 25 state electorates against 23 won by the nation's ruling Barisan Nasional coalition. However, due to defections by elected PBS assemblymen by way of establishments of new parties aligned to BN shortly after the election, PBS was forced out of power resulting in BN forming government in Sabah.[1] The outcome of this election and the defections resulted in the term katak being coined in, the literal meaning of which is "frog", due the actions of PBS members "jumping" to another political party.[2]
After the election, PBS president Joseph Pairin Kitingan was sworn in as chief minister of Sabah. However, as a result of defections of PBS assemblymen to the BN, Pairin was forced to resign on 17 March 1994.[3]
