Haih... oldschool style of plumbing. All the important parts buried in the wall so simple task of changing the rubber seal also becomes nearly 1k to fix. Sometimes open the tap to max may stop the leak. Just try it first before doing anything else.

I did this (tightened it just a tiny bit) last night before sleeping, and it made things worse. Then I went back to your previous post:
I turned back clockwise a bit (loosened it slightly), and voila, I found the sweet spot. No more leaks. To be sure, I waited until today morning. Toilet is back to being done dry, no reflective sign of water anywhere on the tiles and grout. I sat there for 5 minutes just to make sure there is no slow-forming droplet leaking out - there is none!

So problem solved!

PS: Screw the bloody technician for playing with the stopcock and then refusing to come back to my unit to right the issue.

Nice! But realise that this is only a temporary solution. It's now a future project to KIV.
One fine day, when you wanna renovate the bathroom (update with modern amenities etc), include replacing the pipe fixtures with ones that you can service easily.
