Malaysian Nationalist Party
The Malaysian Nationalist Party or Malay: Parti Nasionalis Malaysia (PNM or NASMA) was a multi racial grouping launched in July 1985 under the banner "Malaysians for Malaysia, for justice, intergrity and progress". Envisioned by its founders as a forum for nonsectarian critics of the Mahathir Mohamad regime as a challenge to the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the party's main accomplishment by late 1985 was weakening Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) expansion effort.[1][2]
