The Sarawak Chinese Association (Malay: Persatuan Cina Sarawak, SCA) was a political party in the Sarawak state of Malaysia.
History
The party was established in July 1962 by a group of mostly English-educated Chinese businessmen, with the leaders largely from Kuching and Sibu.[1] Based on the Malayan Chinese Association, its membership was limited to ethnic Chinese residents of Sarawak and the aim of its founders was to present a less radical Chinese viewpoint than that offered by the Sarawak United Peoples' Party (SUPP).
A member of the Sarawak branch of the Alliance Party,[2] it won a single seat in the 1969 general elections, and two of the three seats it contested in the 1970 state elections.[3]
The party was dissolved in 1973 as a result of an agreement between the Alliance and the SUPP.[4][5]
