MH KUL-TPE not eligible to earn TPs/Avios?

I was trying to use the TP calculator and input the route and airline. I get this message: "Sorry, we don't recognise that route and airline combination." Huh?

Since the calculator isn't working, can you confirm how much TPs, I would earn on a return trip in business? I'm assuming it's 280 TP?

I know a few people who love KUL-TPE for TP runs because it's just over 2000 miles. Which means 140 TPs each way.

I've always got the 280 return.

I've paid not much over £400 in the recent past. But can only see £512 at best onwards.

How often does the price drop to the £400 range?

I got £410 to DPS via KUL Nov 2019 weeks before Covid!

I've checked a few times in the last 12 months and cheapest I have seen to KUL (only) ex TPE is about £510.

No longer really interested because BA Avios changes mean I won't chase Gold/OWE in the future. MAN is local airport so for Asia OW is not competitive in J. Just booked EY in J over Christmas for half price of QR/BA.
