WH will require minimum 4 sq mm cable with RCCB 10ma protection - this is Suruhanjaya Tenaga rule!
Your water heater if on at full blast (max temperature) will melt the cable and the 13A socket plug.
If you insist to use back the same wire you must minimally install the 10ma RCCB and make sure your RCCB is 16A at maximum otherwise your cable will melt and catch fire - the cons is you should not on your WH at max temperature because your breaker will trip to protect your wire from overheating.
Still 13A socket point should not be used here, go buy the one specialized for WH. This is a matter of life and death though have fun arguing with some half-past-six electricians that will suggest with you to go with 100mA RCCB or even 300mA to prevent tripping - 30mA may be the best advice they could give HOWEVER 10mA is A MUST by ST rule!
Do not forget - Insurance might choose not to compensate if they find that the accidents/fire was caused by wiring setup that did not follow the right specification!
