I was wondering what is the current market price on labour charges to flush / bleed the car's brake fluid?

DIY. Zero cost labour.  biggrin.gif
Brake Fluid around RM 20+ for 1L DOT4 from Spare part shop.
All you need is an aquarium hose and a bottle.
(But please check the brake nipple size before buying the hose)

I know how to DIY.. just feeling lazy to do it as it is better to remove the wheels to get better leverage to work on it.

I guess moving forward, have to DIY already.

Tried to do it, but no liquid came out
turns out inside got rust and it clogs the nipple
now need to send to shop to rebuild caliper

Nipple clogged can still bleed the brakes.. just fully unscrew the nipple and use a needle to open the hole free from rust, then screw back the nipple.

What you did was good because if the nipple had rusted, high chance your caliper piaton will jam sooner or later. So rebuilding the caliper is a wise option.
