Same experience ex-MNL last week, I was told that champagne would be served "after the doors close", i.e. after take off

3/4 ain't bad tho'
KUL-BKK (quite surprised as I've been told once before that they are not allowed to serve alcohol at KUL because it is a Muslim country .. errmmm, right)

Lazy crew - I'm not sure about that. They worked pretty hard on all the flights. I think it is a customs & tax/duty issue.
