United Borneo Alliance (abbreviated UBA), was formed by Jeffrey Kitingan in 2012 after he launched the Sabah chapter of Sarawak-based State Reform Party (STAR).[1][2][3] Jeffrey also had earlier set-up the preceding United Borneo Front (UBF), the formation of an alliance comprising the State Reform Party (STAR), United Sabah National Organisation (USNO), Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) and Sarawak National Party (SNAP) of Borneo-based parties from Sabah and Sarawak which would be promoting of the "One country, two systems" just like the Hong Kong and Macau status in China which similarly was an initiative with the platform to educate the people to make a change in themselves first and ultimately to bring Sabahan and Sarawakian to better quality of life and a more progressive country.[4]
In 2015, Jeffrey had merged the UBA into the new United Sabah Alliance (USA) he had formed.[5] just before he re-registered the State Reform Party's Sabah chapter he had led to establish it as a new Sabah-based party, the Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) but retained the backronym 'STAR' , leaving the original STAR back to a Sarawak party again in 2016.[6][7]
