If all that is worth the $400 saving for you, then it's a tie, otherwise KE without question in my view.
LOL..the business class on a Malaysian 737 is ample, comfortable and well worth the money spent. Sorry but we are not talking about a 12-15 hour flight so for me, flying the 5 hour sector from Kul to Kathmandu was fine in a 737-800.
I just flew this route a year ago and had no complaints. Food was good, in flight service good and the seats were comfortable.
No big deal compared to KE for me. Then again I fly MH on a bi weekly basis as it is.
