In conservative Terengganu, PAS holds sway while Pakatan struggles to make inroads

THROUGHOUT its first year in power in Terengganu, PAS' strategy has been to work with its new friend Umno while maintaining a relationship with Pakatan Harapan in Putrajaya.

The Islamist party wrested the state from Barisan Nasional, which had governed the state since 2004, in the 14th General Election (GE14). It won 22 out of the 32 state seats.
