  "account": "PAS Terengganu has nominated a candidate for the position of Prime Minister from the state, claiming that records of the state's governance prove the ability of its leaders to manage the nation. Wan Mat Sulaiman, a PAS Terengganu representative, stated that the state's achievements since taking control of administration in 2018 demonstrate the party's capacity to showcase performance in governance, economy, and public welfare. He highlighted the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) ranking of Terengganu as the best-run state in Malaysia for fiscal management, emphasizing the importance of having leaders who can effectively manage finances even in limited circumstances. According to Wan Mat, Terengganu recorded a significant investment of RM7.58 billion in 2025, the highest ever for the state, which is even more impressive given the financial constraints and reduced petroleum royalties from the federal government. Additionally, Terengganu was named the happiest state in 2024, reflecting the success of the state government in achieving its goals of making the region progressive, prosperous, and content. Wan Mat emphasized that PAS's proven track record of governance in Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah, and Perlis under the SG4 framework would serve as the basis for the public to assess the party's capability if given the opportunity to rule at the federal level.",
