just a question, must the internal (wiring from meter to DB and DB box re-wiring) work has to be started right after TNB done the external work(3 phase wiring pulled, change meter panel and meter) ?

Can it like once TNB done, then TNB connect back existing 1 phase internal wire, electricity resume as normal, until schedule another time with contractor to do internal work.

Errr.
The wiring from internal db to meter is not the responsibility of tnb. 
They can come and do the external part without any problem.
If the contractor is licensed and accredited by tnb they might be able to open the wire clamps of the tnb meter to install two more wire from internal to meter to finish the 3 phase, then install new clamps with and report the number on the clamps to tnb. This you will have to make sure and ask tnb and the contractor properly or you might face problems in future....like tempering with meter.

I got this
the wires from meter (1 live 1 neutral) to internal DB is concealed --> require own assign electrician contractor to lay new wire from meter to internal DB and do the balancing.

I have a house at hometown where I'm not always back. I am wondering, can I first apply arrange with TNB to do the external wiring first, including changing the panel n meter.
TNB pull 3 wires (red, blue, yellow and 1 black neutral) to the meter, but only use one phase first with existing internal wire. the other 2 remain hanging uninstall.

So I can arrange with own contractor to do the rest internal work (hack and lay new cable from meter to internal DB, on another schedule.
