Unfortunately, it has now been over 16 months, and only around 50% of the work has been completed.<br /><br />The major issue is that I have already paid more than 80% of the total contract value (220k), yet the contractor keeps delaying the remaining work with repeated excuses and no firm completion timeline. Despite multiple follow-ups, progress has been extremely slow for many months.<br /><br />The contractor is an Indonesian national operating locally.<br /><br />I would appreciate advice on the following:<br /><br />1. What are my legal options?<br /><br />2. Can I lodge a case with the Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna Malaysia (TTPM), and is this applicable for renovation disputes?<br /><br />3. Is it possible to terminate the contract and appoint another contractor?<br /><br />4. Can complaints be made to CIDB Malaysia or any relevant authority?<br /><br />5. If the contractor is a foreigner, are there any immigration or work permit considerations that apply?<br /><br />6. What is the best way to recover losses?<br /><br />I have the contract, payment records, WhatsApp conversations, and site photos as evidence.<br /><br />Any advice from those who have gone through similar situations, or from legal/property professionals, would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you in Advance. infinity_my Home Renovations and Interior Design Sat, 20 Dec 2025 19:38:34 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5442564 Hi,<br /><br />I&#39;m seeking advice and recommendations for renovating my double-storey terrace house located in Bdr Puteri, Klang Valley.
