Why can I only find "Business Flex" tickets?

Trying to book return flights from HKG - KUL for next January on the Malaysia Airlines website. Only the more expensive flexible tickets are showing, for every single day. I'd rather pay less for a cheaper fare bucket, which I know is available from Expert Flyer. Am I missing something? How can I book the cheaper, more restrictive tickets?

Have you tried Expedia or some other online travel agent?

It's possible you're trying too far ahead of time and cheap fares will only bevome available at T-6months (or similar)?

MH files all of its fares with the Business Flex conditions for HKG-KUL. It's the only option you have.

Also, that may be because of the lack of a ongoing promotion?

I believe it is due to non-promotion period. But sometimes some route they would never provide any business class discount due to overall high load, for example the SIN route

Since there is ample time i might use some Avios (if not stock up some soon) and get a one way on CX if availability permits for better value
