The Sarawak United People's Party (Parti Rakyat Bersatu Sarawak) is a political party in Malaysia. The party is one of the constituent members of the ruling National Front (Barisan Nasional). It was established in 1959 mainly by leftists and working class Chinese, many of whom were members of the underground communist movement in Sarawak. For the first decade, many of its members were deported from Sarawak for communist activities. Several of its senior members moved across the border into Kalimantan where they took up arms against the Sarawak government.
