Semangat 46
Encyclopedia : S : SE : SEM : Semangat 46
Semangat 46 (Spirit of '46) is a now defunct Malaysian political party. The party was formed in 1989 under the leadership of Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, which was felt to be capable of mounting a realistic challenge to the dominance of then UMNO under Mahathir's leadership and its electoral vehicle, the Barisan Nasional. Events turned the other side, Razaleigh's support evaporated, and Mahathir's administrations continuing to deliver economic success to Malaysia. In May 1996 the eight-year rift within UMNO was healed when Razaleigh led his Semangat '46 party back into the UMNO fold.
