A quality assessment framework that assesses the performance of institutional arrangement of land administration is essentially needed considering the framework is where the legal process and property rights are ensured. Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) by World Bank is developed as a diagnostic instrument to assess country’s land administration system at national or sub-national level. This study explored the appropriateness of this assessment framework by interviewing experts from Department of Land and Mines, Department of Surveying and Mapping in Penang Land and Mines Office, and Department of Town Planning and Consumer Association of Penang to determine the suitability based on twelve indicators of institutional arrangement and policy highlighted in LGAF. The result shows that, out of twelve indicators, only eleven indicators are highly suitable to be evaluate by Malaysia’s land administration system. Through this study, a formal land administration system can be supported and guided via the scheduled evaluations based on the indicators which will be a beneficial for land authorities.
