  "account": "PAS Terengganu has offered a candidate for the position of Prime Minister from the state, asserting that the record of governance nearly spanning two terms under the leadership of Menteri Besar Samsuri Mokhtar serves as proof of their ability to govern the country. Wan Mat Sulaiman, a PAS Terengganu representative, stated that the achievements of the state government since taking over in 2018 demonstrate their capability in administration, economy, and public welfare. Among these achievements, the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS) ranking of Terengganu as the best-managed state in Malaysia due to its budget management is noteworthy. \"This means we have important leaders who can effectively manage the nation's finances even in limited circumstances,\" he explained during a discussion on the opening remarks of PAS' annual presidential address for the 72nd National Congress at Putik, Pengkalan Chepa. He added that Terengganu, led by Menteri Besar Samsuri Mokhtar, also recorded the highest investment of RM7.58 billion in 2025, the highest ever recorded for the state. This achievement is more significant, according to him, because it was accomplished despite financial constraints and limited petroleum royalties from the federal government. Furthermore, Terengganu was recognized as the happiest state in 2024, reflecting the success of the state government in achieving its goals of making Terengganu a progressive, prosperous, and contented state. \"This is proof, this is our confidence to the people we want to convey that PAS has evidence, that we can effectively govern the country,\" he concluded. He also mentioned that the experience of PAS in governing Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah, and Perlis under the SG4 framework will serve as the basis for people to assess the party's capability if given the opportunity to govern at the federal level.",
