There used to be one on MH, but I can't find it anymore either. It was a 737 flight too, so not really a premium business class experience. So agree on hsmal's itinerary they need to do the stopover in KUL and buy their own tickets to BKI. Even that's a long domestic flight, they are still typically dirt cheap within Malaysia, especially if you can handle Firefly or Air Asia, but even MH doesn't charge offensive prices for domestic business if that's what you want. I personally wouldn't buy MH domestic economy over Firefly (owned by MH) unless the price is nearly the same and you get status benefits since most MH economy fares won't credit to anywhere except Enrich. I had LGK-KUL not too long ago and MH economy was $22 one way, so that was a no-brainer, but for a large differential Firefly is perfectly fine.
