I was looking at doing a stopover. Judging from some trip reports here, KL is only worth 2-3 days. Hence I was thinking of the below to fill out 4-5 days:

Day 1: Arrive at 7:35am at KUL. See city sights.

Day 2: Do half-day tour in KL, and more city sights.

Day 3: Fly to Jakarta and do some sight seeing.

Day 4: Do tour around Jakarta and more sights.

Day 5: Fly back to KUL, and then take evening flight to AKL.

I also have a 8 hour transit in KUL on the way back to DXB. Is it worth heading into the city during this time?

Any thoughts and feedback would be most appreciated.
If you insist on going to Jakarta, let me know if you have any specific questions. However, since you mentioned early next year, that's generally considered its rainy season (it depends, but say October-March).

You might want to check out Penang and/or Malacca, both in (West) Malaysia, and both with transit options from KL (perhaps from KUL too).
