This paper highlights the importance of in-depth exploration of the institutional dynamics shaping water asset land ownership within Malaysia's restructured water services industry, focusing particularly on the pivotal role played by PAAB. Despite PAAB's proactive efforts, the industry faces persistent challenges that have resulted in significant delays in the land alienation process for water assets. These challenges have raised concerns among industry stakeholders. Notably, early adopters of industry restructuring have encountered issues during the land alienation process, with Negeri Sembilan and Johor experiencing notable hurdles. Employing institutional theory as a guiding framework, this research seeks to comprehensively examine these challenges and propose effective solutions. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with twelve respondents in Negeri Sembilan and Johor, the study identifies and analyses fifteen internal and external challenges that hinder progress in water asset land ownership. By considering normative, rational choice, historical, and empirical approaches, the study aims to recommended a solution by involving the cooperation of state and federal governments for water asset land ownership, with a focus on implementing proactive measures to enhance industry efficiency and effectiveness.
