The application for extension of time (Lampiran 27) was dismissed because there was an excessive and unjustified delay of five months beyond the stipulated deadline, the plaintiffs failed to provide cogent and reasonable explanations for the delay, and the delay prejudiced the defendants; accordingly the court refused to exercise its discretion to extend time and ordered costs.
