If I can be a little tongue in cheek, you are somewhat contradicting yourself when you say there is no such requirement but then saying you will be denied entry because you don't meet their requirements....although now we are nitpicking the definition of 'requirement'
I had a dig around for any definition of connecting flights on the MAS website and of course there isn't any...there are a few things that hint at a meaning; e.g.
In this FAQ:
https://www.askmh.malaysiaairlines.c...r-for-check-in
"
They title is If I'm holding separate tickets, do I have to go to a counter for check-in?" and the body of text then refers to "
if you are travelling on separate tickets on the following flights operated by Malaysia Airlines (MH), connecting with our oneworld or codeshare partner carriers" which suggest that separate tickets and connecting are not mutually exclusive.
