摘要：Malaysia has undergone development transformation since the earliest years of its independence. Sustainable economic and social growth have transformed the country into a competitive and successful country. These changes have had a positive impact on the socio-economic state. The government is aware that the more comprehensive and integrated development between the city and the rural areas is important so that rural communities are not ignored and neglected in terms of economic, social and educational development. The study was conducted in selected rural communities in the state of Terengganu to assess the extent to which social capital elements empower local leaders in developing their area. Qualitative approaches were used to deeply understand the strategies of local leaders in strengthening the social capital elements in their respective areas. To ensure the goal of this study is achieved, 45 informants were selected to provide the information needed. The results of this study prove that the strategy of local leaders in empowering social capital makes their communities more successful.
