If you can’t live in a world where everything’s not the way you want it to be, time to reflect on yourself and how you view the world…

Again, you know if the fitting has an Earth terminal or not that you can say no need to run the Earth wire? ongss doesn't want a plaster ceiling, so it has to be a surface mounted LED fitting. From the images of the site, ongss has every right to be pissed off at the "electrician" for the shoddy, below par work.

You should be ashamed of yourself if you are anywhere close to the industry, and you should be demanding better service if you are the end user. Why are you trying to defend the sh!t work?

What else? You don't normally get into an accident, so no need to wear a seat belt?

You are right that LED also required earth line. Before selecting the current electrician, there were around 7 electricians came to view. All of them refused to continue from what left behind and wanted to start all over again. As I awarded this piece of work to the main contractor, he was struggling not to find someone that will minimise his losses. All (including the current new one) concluded that the work is below par.

If anyone of you happen to award your electrical work to one called Mr Tan from Sungai Buloh, do message me to double check.

You have the wrong opinion, and instead of changing and becoming better, you choose to double down on the mistake. Ego much?

Troll on bro? Hahahaha, thanks for the laugh today! Me thinks you need to look up the meaning of "troll".
PS : Please don't reply since you aint got the time to waste energy on me.

Finger crossed. sweat.gif

The new electrician also subcontracted to another group of foreigners. But, at least he comes once a week to check. In terms of quality, of course, much better than previous one. Proper parts are in place for all the cables.

For those who are rebuilding the house, my advice is to engage an M&E consultant to prepare the drawing. It won't cost much but make life easier. I learn a big lesson by assuming the so-called Data Centre electrician could run the cables based on his experiences.

Hi, would you mind sharing the contact for your new electrician? I just bought over an old condo unit and need to rectify some of the wiring. I have called 2 electrical contractors and both sent foreign workers to perform the site visit which I am not comfortable. Appreciate the assistance. Thanks!

Actually, this is the modus operandi for most of the electricians. My current electrician is doing the same. Except, he gives instructions for the work in advance and come to site visit 2 - 3 times a week. So far, there were some errors spotted but they rectify for me.

If you unit is a condo located at Klang Valley, you probably can contact Phuah (+6018 3644086). This guy speaks Mandarin or Cantonese. He operates alone and drive a van with all parts. I could not use his service because I need someone to sign my Borang G. This guy does not have the relevant chargeman license. However, he did some work for me and managed to find the root cause. I thought my heater caused the trip. However, he managed to trace to my oven.
