The Sabah Chinese Consolidated Party (Malay : Parti Cina Bersatu Sabah (PCBS)), short for SCCP, was a Sabahan-based minor political party formed in 1980. [1] [2] The party claimed to represent the Chinese community in Sabah.

In the 1981 state elections, the SCCP joined forces with United Sabah National Organisation (USNO) and United Pasok Nunukragang National Organisation (PASOK) in an electoral pact, to oppose the ruling Sabah People's United Front (BERJAYA), and won one seat for N48 Bandar Tawau. [3] However, following the resignation of the SCCP sole assemblyman Chan Tze Hiang from the party in late 1982 to become an independent, [4] the seat was subsequently recaptured by BERJAYA in the next election. The SCCP decided not to contest the 1985 state election, [5] and instead supported Joseph Pairin Kitingan's Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS). [1]

The SCCP contested its final election in the 1986 state election, winning one seat, but the winner left the party 2 days later to join PBS. [6] The party was dissolved a few years later, when most of the party members formed a new party, Liberal Democratic Party.
