The main focus of the study is to evaluate the perspective of strengthening social capital resources of rural communities for rural development in Terengganu. Utilizing a convenient sampling procedure, participants for this study were taken from one hundred and seventy leaders in rural Terengganu. This study employed a self-administered online survey to gather primary data. The data were analysed using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The research findings unveiled that social capital and community leadership are germane and indispensable traits in rural development. Ubiquitously, this is true regardless of the stages of development any country is going through at the time. It is therefore the responsibility of the community and its leaders to create their social capital and make efficient use of it to advance rural development in Terengganu and refine the state's local policy.
