We are flying KUL-DXB in late March in F and haven't decided where we will be connecting FROM yet. The flight departs KUL at 7:20pm, wherever we are coming from will be somewhere else in SE Asia and it will be an international connection.

The MCT says 1 hour for International to International. Does this apply if I'm flying into KLIA2 on a budget carrier?

Is KUL like SIN where you are safe as long as you are within the MCT or are there other factors I need to consider when connecting to EK?
