Seeking help/advise from any expert about the certification of CIDB contractor.

I started my house's renovation at the end of Nov 2014, extended backyard and I have been engaging a contractor(without CIDB certification) to do the extension without knowing that the renovation approval plan require a CIDB certified contractor to sign it  in order to get the CCC.

I gotten the approved drawing plan from the authority before the renovation start. However, when I request to apply for CCC after renovation completed, the contractor claimed that there was a new rules set up by government which only the CIDB certified contractor can sign the form to apply CCC. This contractor is very irresponsible by simply pushing the issue to the government's new rules and not willing to resolve it. I have paid him RM4k to submit the approved plan in year 2015, yet he can't complete the application of CCC and did not refund me as he claimed that he did engage architect the draw the plan, not his fault for the new rules implemented.

3 years later, I found out that he had applied for CIDB certification and was a member since Aug 2018 as below screen shot. However, when I clarified with him, he claimed that he did applied for it but was not success as the certification fees is very expensive so he is not willing to pay for it. Looking at below screen shot, is that true?

Lastly, appreciate if anyone can advise me what should I do and you can also PM me any contact of a contractor who is able to sign the plan with a reasonable fees. I am willing to pay the fee if it is reasonable.
