My primary oneworld FF now is Enrich and I'm wondering whether I should switch to another program and BA seems to be among the better ones out there?

1. Do the tier points shown on the website refer to one-way? And will the flight KUL-DOH and DOH-DXB be posted as two different flights? If I understand correctly, I'll get 140 TPs for KUL-DOH and 60 TPs for DOH-DXB (Business but booked into First fare class for GCC routes) one-way so a return flight would net me 400 TPs?
2. Is there anyway for me to get the 4 BA flight segments in Asia?

If it is indeed 400TPs per return flight I will be at BA Gold with 4 return flights compared to needing 10 flights if I bank it to Enrich. Only issue is meeting the 4 BA flight requirement. I hear Qatar's program is bad so did not consider that...

Thanks in advance!
One way.
If the KUL-DOH and DOH-DXB are different flight numbers then you will earn avios and TPs for each.
It will be difficult to get the four flight segments in Asia but not impossible. While in the ME you could consider the following BA flights AUH-MCT and BAH-DOH.
