I think can use hollow concrete block? I'm not sure how it is done in Malaysia but I saw online, Singapore build the leg support first with hollow concrete blocks while waiting for the concrete countertop mould to be cured.

Edit: Here are a few examples of what our Singapore counterparts do for their kitchen countertop






As you can see, they build their concrete countertop differently from our malaysian contractors. They do the concrete countertop mould
in 2 parts for sink and stove separately while building the leg support first.

Based on googling online, our malaysian contractors' style is to build the countertop mould with the rebars in the wall first while placed on top of wood support to be cured for a few days. I think they build the leg support later after the countertop mould is properly cured and strong enough. But I do not know what material they use for leg support? Is it red bricks or what.

The concrete casting done in sg, I understand that they will put in the rebars inside the mould template first, then pour the mixed concrete and aggegrates. Or else the concrete top will not be strong enough even after being cured.

I do think the drilling part for our side is messier, spoils the look because of the tile alignment that comes after that. Sometimes, some malaysian contractors will leave a gap between the tiles for the rebars, then much more easier. However, I feel that it is better to tile the leg support first, at least the alignment from top to bottom is neater based on my kitchen reno experience and comapring pictures.
