From my review of the schedules, MH doesn't fly nonstop to the US from KUL. Perhaps the 787 will change things, but for now, ultra-longhaul flights are on the wane.
As I posted before, I don't think anybody thinks that AA can sit back and rest on its current Asian presence - it must expand to the far east. But that will likely be more flights to ICN, Tokyo, mainland China, perhaps TPE and probably HKG sometime in the future. And for AA-US-Oneworld passengers headed to the very distant cities of KUL, BKK, SIN, etc, connections are in their future.
