The Sarawak People's Aspiration Party (Malay: "Parti Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak", abbreviated ASPIRASI) is a centre-left political party based in Sarawak, Malaysia, renamed and rebranded from their former organisation faction, State Reform Party abbreviated as STAR.[3][4]

Background and party establishment history

[edit | edit source]

The party began as the State Reform Party (STAR) in the 1990s founded by Patau Rubis, using a 9-pointed star derived from the state flag as its logo. The party contested in the 2016 state elections under the STAR logo, failing to win a single seat.

The State Reform Party's policy will ensure the party always struggle as a significant pressure group on demanding recognition of Sarawak rights together with many other non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The Party demands that the Government of Sarawak have to reform the state government system and go out from the available comfort zone.[5][6] As a pro-Sarawakian independence party, it aims to table Sarawak Independence Referendum Ordinance in event it won seat in the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly.[7]

The party leadership history

[edit | edit source]

Patau Rubis is the first ASPIRASI president, on that time also known as STAR Party or State Reform Party (before rebranded). He died in 2016, after collapsed while presiding the STAR Sarawak's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 20 March and was replaced by Lina Soo.[8][9] Beside the President Lina Soo, the party AGM later had also elected a new committee including Bulin anak Ribos as chairman on 12 October 2017.[10] After the leadership changed to Lina Soo faction, they agreed to rebranding STAR as ASPIRASI including the logo to avoid people confusion with the STAR Sabah organisation in July 28, 2020.[11][12]

The party expansion and separation history

[edit | edit source]

In 2012, STAR also expanded to neighbouring Sabah with setting of the state chapter led by Jeffrey Kitingan,[13] who had also initiated the United Borneo Alliance (UBA),[14] in its effort to switch to a Borneo-based regional party uniting all local parties in Sabah and Sarawak to promote jointly the 7 Borneo Agendas.[15]

In 2016 Kitingan re-registered the Sabah chapter as a new Sabah-based party, Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) but retained the backronym STAR, leaving the original State Reform Party back as Sarawak-based.[16][17] In 2016 STAR Sabah rebranded itself as the Homeland Solidarity Party (with acronym STAR) and STAR Sarawak rebranded itself as the Sarawak People's Aspiration Party (with acronym ASPIRASI).[18][19]

Rebranding as ASPIRASI

[edit | edit source]

The party rebranded as Parti Aspirasi Rakyat Sarawak or ASPIRASI in February 2020[20] and unveiled a new logo based on Rajah Brooke's birdwing butterfly in December 2021,[21] a week before the 2021 Sarawak state election.
