The Malaysian Surveyor
In terms of the Strata Management
Act 2013, the act has created
an additional post of a Deputy
Commissioner. The creation of this
post is to hope that the Deputy
Commissioner will help the COB
to relieve the burden of some of
their works. The creation of Strata
Management Tribunal in conjunction
to the Strata Management Act
2013 will also help in easing the
works and burden of the COB in
terms of handling all the disputes
and complaints. Under the Strata
Management Act 2013, COB will
be in charge of enforcing and
administering the management of
the strata development right from
the initial developer management
period until the establishment of
the MC. In general, COB is now
given a clearer and bigger role under
the new Strata Management Act
2013 to manage all types of strata
development (Mohamad & Sufian,
2013).
