Just a couple more considerations to factor in:
1) The arrival immigration may take awhile if you're unlucky. One of my relatives had to wait for about 90 minutes when he flew in on a Saturday afternoon.
2) Also just be aware that AirAsia has staff at the ready weighing carry-on bags right before you clear security at KUL T2. They didn't care about my bag when they realized I was flying with Scoot.
