They might be sensible and do the change without charging you the penalty which, I agree is stupid.

Malaysia is desperately trying to promote tourism...and if a passenger wants to spend more time in KL before heading to Penang, it makes sense to help out.

KL tourism board in DBKL has been complaining tourist don't spend enough days in KL...when they do want to, MH penalizes them.

Go figure.
You might get lucky but I think it's wishful thinking. The "rules" won't change because an agent wants to "help out" the country.
