Such a pity BA reinstated the flights and then pulled them again.
Our last long haul flight was February 2020 ,BA, KUL-LHR-BHD in First and it was fabulous.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
If BA is still offering multi-carrier awards (which were only bookable over the phone), and you can add a segment on EI or MH to the itinerary (maybe DUB-LHR/LGW-DOH-KUL on EI/QR on the outbound), you should be able to get the roundtrip for 200,000 Avios in Business. (You could even return to BHD, if you did not leave a vehicle at DUB.)

More info on BA's multi-carrier awards here:

(Note that in these awards, the multiplier for Business Class is 2X, not 3X.)
