As we've arrived in F on a oneworld airline, what's the chances we can use the Malay F lounge in KUL ?
I have BA gold so I don't think it's an issue but my family have no status.

There’s a bit of uncertainty / debate around this. As two separate tickets, my view is that it’d probably be seen as thee being no ‘connection’ here, so no F side access. However, OW rules are not explicit on what the definition of ‘connection’ is in their policy for access based on long-haul to short-haul.
Prior debate in the thread here:
KUL Lounge Access Question
(The data point in that thread did not shed much light on how MH handles such, as the passenger somehow got into the J side but not the F side, even though the long-haul was ‘F’.)
At least, you’ll get the J lounge, which is fine (and only the Satellite building has a F section in the lounge; the Main building, likely but not guaranteed where you depart KUL for BKK, only has the joint Regional Golden Lounge.
