Abstract: This study aims to highlight the leadership of Sultan Muhammad Syah II in administering the state of Terengganu. Sultan Muhammad Syah II was crowned the 12th sultan of Terengganu in November 1918 after his father's death, Al Marhum Sultan Zainal Abidin III. Sultan Muhammad Syah II held the leadership of Terengganu until May 1920. Although less than two years old, Sultan Muhammad Syah II carried out his responsibilities as a ruler to ensure that Terengganu's people and the state were always in peace and prosperity. Therefore, the study will analyze the leadership of Sultan Muhammad Syah II in the Terengganu State Administration in 1918-1920 with a historical approach to data acquisition focused on primary sources such as documents and manuscripts from the British Adviser Terengganu, The Badariah Palace office and the Chief Minister’s Office. Secondary sources such as journals and books are also used to reinforce the findings. The study results found that Sultan Muhammad Syah II was a competent leader and full of responsibility in administering the state of Terengganu even though he ruled the state of Terengganu for a short period compared to the previous sultan.
