I tried searching for this question, but only AA/BA results came.

Route: KUL-NRT
Flight Number: MH9118 (JL724)
Booking Class: Business (D)

Called TA, they told me they can't see any seat map in their system for reservation.
Called MH, they told me they are unable to do it, as their system do not have access to the seat map.
Called JAL, they told me to contact MH.

Anyone in this similar situation ?

It has been a topic before that MH does not load a seat map for the code share flights on JAL. Thus seat selection is not possible until check in. There is a thread somewhere in the JL forum.

The marketing carrier is responsible for the seat assignment, ie. MH.
