This is a routing based fare, with a stopover cost of INr1,000 per stopover at any city in the routing table.
Most people are reporting a problem getting a stopover because OTAs will only pull up MHcoded flights and the MH coded transpacs on AA or JL are only available when done in conjunction with a sub 24 hour arrival from KL.
But as I pointed out previously, this fare doesnt require the transpac to be MH coded:
Presumably a capable TA could get you in one day on an MH or JL flight and allow a +24 hour stopover before booking you onward on a JL or AA coded flight. The fare rules allow that.

OK, I stand corrected as per hinting that the reason for not being able to do stayovers in TYO was the fare rules prohibiting that. In reality fare rules stop TYO stopovers through other restrictions, as documented above. Thanks to both of you for helping us understand this interesting fare, sold for a good price.
In the light of my posting experience, I will in due order perform self-criticism
