The brokerage fees are the fees that your brokerage incur charges whenever your orders are matched.
While some brokers offer 0.3% or 0.7%, they also incur minimum brokerage charges, i.e. RM28 (usually if played infrequently or RM12, if played very often).
Usually placing 1 lot, RM46 as of this close, you will incurred the minimum and on top of that, stamp duty and clearing fees, though usually brokerage fees is what kills you if purchased very few lots and it's not worth the effort, better to fork out as a rule of thumb, more than 2k in value if you want to make a trade worthwhile.
