Razaleigh and his supporters which constituted Team B including Musa Hitam, Rais Yatim, Abdullah Badawi, and Marina Yusoff were initially not allowed to register as members of this newly formed UMNO. On the advice of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razaleigh founded a new political party called Parti Melayu Semangat 46 (S46), which was a temporary vehicle for them to fight under, at least until things had cooled between Dr. Mahathir and all Razaleigh's supporters in Team B and they were allowed to rejoin UMNO. The number 46 refers to the year the original UMNO was founded.
