重点报道：你的管理费是不是给多了？
根据在2015年开始实行的2013年分层管理法令（SMA 2013），一名分层产业的业主必须支付每个月的管理费或服务费给共管机构（JMB）或管理机构（MC），让后者将这些资金用来管理和维护建筑物内的共用空间和财产。 除此，业主也必须支付一笔储备基金，而这笔基金一般上是所有费用的10%。 Chur Associates管理伙伴Chris Tan指出，这笔储备基金是用来应付日后突然出、且比平常管理费更昂贵的开支，例如油漆和翻新内部共用设施等。 对此，很多业主认为本身给的管理费很贵，但究竟多少的管理费才是真的太贵了呢？而这笔管理费又是如何计算，当中有没有什么方程式或指引？ 在SMA 2013和1985年分层地契法令底下，一个住宅或商用单位在法律意义上被称为一个区块（parcel），而每一个区块在分层地契法令底下都有一个以整数呈现的份额数值（share value）。 大马Burgess Rawson董事经理Wong Kok Soo解释道，在2015年分层地契条例的第四附表中，列明了一个计算份额单位（share unit）和管理费的标准公式（见Table A）。 管理费到底用来支付什么开销？ Bangsar最早期的公寓之一Sri Penaga的管理机构主席 Khaw Chay Tee向EdgeProp.
