The person is arriving into KUL from DOH, which is an international flight. Unless something has changed, KUL doesn't segregate arriving and departing international passengers (I used the MH lounge as an arrivals lounge for a shower with no problem), so couldn't the person just stay airside in the international area, especially if there's no checked luggage. To me, this suggests that it would be possible to get to the Sama Sama Express Hotel, although the hotel might have a rule about requiring a departing international boarding pass.
