for high voltage usage items such as aircond, oven, water boiler etc including fridge is a must to have individual mcb with higher amp socket.
lighting & fan can loop.

Bro..

That person doing your wiring cannot even qualify as a skill worker.. This guy doesn't know what he is doing..

1. The pvc conduit has to be connected from back box to back box and terminated with a female adaptor between the pvc conduit to the box and screwed down inside the box so you can pull wire..

2. The black box elevation is wrong.. It's either 300mm, 1000mm or 1450mm above finish floor level ..

The original 13A switched socket outlets (white) look correct but the newly installed black boxes are definitely wrong..

3. Kitchen socket wiring is always direct from the DB and is only connected to maximum 2 nos 2x13A sockets in serial circuit and a maximum of 5 in ring circuit using 3x2.5mm2 pvc copper cable (Sirim/ST labelled)..

You better get a wireman to quote.. At the very least he can check that its safe to use ..

Edit * Get that guy to use a grinder to cut groove the width of the conduit into the cement before hacking and the finish has to be below 15mm below the finish cement plaster.

That hacked out section will be difficult to finish even by a skilled plasterer..

But i already paid him deposit for the job. He also will pull another DB into my 1st floor. Will it be dangerous if he don't have knowledge about it?

Why don't you ask your renovations contractor to "pau" the wiring?

Tell your neighbour his work is really poor and you cannot accept it..

Ask the neighbour to return the deposit balance then push the wiring to your renovations contractor .. you seriously cannot let him continue ..

The plastering quality finish will be bad if he does the same thing.. talk to your existing contractor and ask his advice and pressure him he still responsible for the plastering quality..

He will know what to do.. Just make a scene and tell him its all crap workmanship and you cannot accept ..

You're the boss so boss him..

Edit.. The workmanship is very bad.. just reject it..

Is the wiring back to DB box 4mm or bigger? how he add power? turbo mode ah? if just change higher MCB amp ratting good luck man.

Assuming he using back 2.5mm wiring, you can do looping, even 100 loops also no problem if the socket are use to charge handphones. If you going to use this for high current stuff like oven, stove or boiler. I suggest you insured you house heavily first before using all this in the same loop.

Assuming that original point is not loop, you are running all the load on the poor 2.5mm wires. Pity the old wires, and fine day the old wire will sure go harden and blow out.

Actually you can ask him to get a helper to help him (hint an experienced wireman)..

Advice him wireman work in pairs with proper tools (he needs to purchase a grinder and the depth of his conduit has to be deeper than the for the wall tile grouting.)

Talk to the wall tile installer and get his opinion on the hacking..

All pvc conduits need to be installed with female adaptors and terminated end to end to the box before he can cover up with cement plaster and to be below the finish so a smooth surface can be done..

The wall he hacked was too wide and not deep enough that the wall tiles grouting will difficult be to install..

Also info him you already received bad comments on his workmanship ..

At least you have reasons to reject his work .. You yourself can build up some experience ..

I think even insurance could not help if they find out the fire is cause by such looping.
