HKT-KUL 1h 20min flight, 1h total transfer, 1h margin = 3h 20min

KUL-KBR 1h flight, 3h total transfer to the islands, 2h margin = 6h

KBR-KUL-KCH 3h flight, 5h total transfer from islands and connection, 2h margin = 10h

KCH-BKI 1h 30min flight, 1h 30min transfer, 45 min margin = 3h 45min margin

BKI-SIN 2h 30 min flight, 1h 30 min transfer, 1h margin = 5h

Now you can argue some of the transfers back and forth but I'm being generous here especially with the transfer to the perhentian islands which can be very unpredictable. Either way you slice it this is going to be ~30h of travel on a 4 week trip, ie 2 full days of daylight spent going back and forth. That's stressed out to me.

Drop the perhentian islands and it gets significantly better.
