I wanted to know this also.
Those weight supporting structure or beam, they cannot be hacked.
But what I want to know is, can hole drilling even allowed on those beam?

Lets just say if its structural means it hold up the structure..

You mess with it at your own risk..

But that wall maybe ady coming wih one socket??

That socket was installed at the same time the structure wall was casted..

You can mess with the wiring but do not hack out the socket as it maybe a load bearing shear wall ..

especially if you live in a multi storey building..

aesthetic always come with the price;

If don't want to hack, just lay a wire and put another layer of plastering, this mean the entire wall need to replaster. This how some Singapore HDB is doing since thec can't hack the wall, they can plaster another artificial wall, usually doing that for hot water and wiring too.

or Make it industrial feel, expose a GI tube. Need a good workmanship.

Both method will not be cheap.

Want cheap just install normal extension, RM 30 kautim.

Or get the structural plans for the unit and know for sure what walls are load bearing and what are only aesthetic..

failing which.. i really would not mess with them..
