Hi, just want to ask you guys.

My power point for the instant water heater in my bathroom is something like this. It comes down from the plaster ceiling and has no socket outlet. My question is, if the cables are not long enough to connect to the water heater, what is the safest and most practical way to do the installation?

As per the previous reply, this doesn't looks like wiring for the heater.

A heater wiring usually has an MCB or a lighted breaker type switch outside of the bathroom to provide current to the wiring. Please get someone more knowledgeable to check it out.

It's ok, got it done already. As mentioned in my post, the water heater wiring just comes from the ceiling with no socket outlet there. Just mentioned it's similar to what's in the picture but the cables are different. So was just wondering what was the best and safest way to do it.

If you are sure that wiring is for your water heater you can just access the top of the ceiling pull the cable up and route it down the ceiling of the wall where you want the heater installed. If the cable is long enough you do not need a socket. the wiring can just go directly inside the heater.

Just use some putty to fill up the old hole in the ceiling.
