Expect you are coming into KUL on an international flight?
If you are depending on your domestic flight to get you access, it can go either way; there does not seem to be a consistent policy in such a situation, and there will not be much you can do if the Satellite / Regional Lounge agent tells you to go to the Domestic lounge on the day:
Denied access to KUL Platinum Lounge
KUL Lounge Access Question
Satellite lounge access before regional flight
Anecdotally, it seems it may have been have been more open to allowing this before COVID, and now they are stricter. However, it’s not explicitly published write either way anywhere on MH’s site.

anything beyond that is a pleasant surprise.
Arriving from an international destination and transiting to a domestic flight does not give you access to the golden lounge/platinum room. Yes there has been anecdotal evidence that people did get in but this is malaysia and it all depends how you talk with people. Once a decision was made by the staff they would not change their mind as that would mean losing face.
You can still try the international lounge at the main terminal building, that is still nicer than the domestic lounge.

The OneWorld policy is secondary, MH is free to say that domestic passengers can not use an international lounge as the passenger is not departing from the international terminal and as they are still providing a lounge in the domestic terminal they are confirming with the OneWorld rules. Many airlines make up their own rules that are liberal with the OneWorld standards.
