Don't understand. U yourself choose to engage the plumber. You want to skip paying?

what do you mean by illegal?
you mean while fixing the pipe leakage, he damaged your door and ask you to fix it?

na man more like poor workmanship and didn't want to provide receipt.. ask receipt that fella straight shout at us becsuse I want declare income tax

more like keep on adding extra charges like fixing the door etc as exple charge bit by bit. rm50

But u allow him to fix the door right? He fix also by your request. If his quality bad why u keep engaging him doing other stuff? Can't blame him all u know.
All these blue collar worker or I call them handy man, u expect them to have registered company? Please la. Asking invoice from them?
under what category in income tax can u for fixing your house as and individual?

bro i think u need help, not the plumber

nah more like my mum requested it

you're wasting everyone's time here..
u need help, please seek a doctor

Topkek TS. Did the plumber point a gun at your head when he asked you if u need your door fix and your toilet bowl changed? U could just say no and pay that guy just for fixing your pipe

again you don't read. my my mum was one requested

this was a new contractor
we do not have anyone else. the receipt was to scare ppl if there's nothing to suggest please refrain ty

ok i read this, ask your mum to pay then

It doesn't matter whether it's your mom or u who requested it. The point is your side has agreed on the additional work suggested by the plumber. If he has done his job, u pay him. It's as simple as that. If u feel his workmanship is lousy, either ask him to do it back nicely again, or ask him for a discount, or just don't ever call him again for plumbing work in the future.

And what is this that u have reported me. U r clearly need help with your disorder.

Just pay up. We can't suggest you to scam your contractor not paying him.

Regardless whether you or your mom requested it, the contractor acted on it because your side has agreed to it. You still have to pay him for his work done. Did you tell him not to take instructions from your mom before this?

If his work is not up to your standard and you're not happy with it, tell him to do it again or find another contractor to redo at your own cost.

As for the receipt, learn from your experiences and ask contractor if they have company that can issue you receipt first before agreeing to engage them in future.

What you mean you do not have anyone else? Where did you find this contractor? Why do you say that he is illegal?

this was from a, friend of a friend.. yes learn my lesson.
illegal contractor because it his saving account requested receipt but didn't provide.
kept on pressing payment then only do work later

I think I did say we already paid one lump sum for him

What do you mean his saving account requested receipt?
You mean you want to report him to LHDN for not declaring his income? What proof do you have?
Like others mentioned, a lot of handyman don't really provide receipts, some are illiterate and can't read/write. Hence why you should check first if they can issue you one if it's so important to you. Sometimes you can write the receipt yourself and ask them to sign that payment received.

Not sure what you can do if you're not happy with his work ethics and workmanship, other that complain to your friends for recommending not so good contractor to you and never to engage him again.

he's a friend of my mum friend.. those older generation
. I don't expect official but just buku 555 only type also cam.

the workmanship he provides not really up to standard there paints and certain wall didn't not even well done properly
