At the counter they informed me about the cordined off area and when I showed my bp to the lady at the rope she let me in, BA Gold here.. Maybe I got "Lucky" but I also agree with the sentiments.. It was not a very relaxing place to be.
According to the lounge staff the First section hopefully opens at the end of the month.

Reason does not work in the scheme of things being discussed..knowing this I never try, but saw an old couple trying with their JAL status..and were told it was only for enrich platinum members or those on first class ..just the frustration that they even bothered was very evident..

as the Platinum lounge is still not ready, they use the side area as Platinum only section in the Golden Lounge. I took a photo which said MH Platinum and First Class Guest (which I will load it to my blog hopefully soon).
My question, why people insisted they want to go to Platinum Lounge. Is Platinum Lounge really much nicer? I think Golden lounge is good enough.

Not true any more, technically you can qualify as Platinum by flying 100% in econ though it would involve a lot of flying unless you are on full Y.
In the old days, even Gold qualification requires Biz and First flights.

i guess you are right. I saw so many fighting even at Plaza Premium lounge. They insisted that Credit Card should give them access (although they do not have the Priority Pass). Personally I rather go to Satay club and enjoy some dinner there rather go crapy Plaza Premium lounge

What are Platinum Miles?
Platinum Miles are used to track an Enrich member’s qualification towards Enrich Platinum tier status. Platinum Miles can only be earned on qualifying Malaysia Airlines Golden Club Class and First Class fares. Platinum Miles may not be used toward the redemption of Enrich Awards.

Plaza Premium Lounge
Many local credit card companies (and some banks) pay for their customers to use the lounge, the only complication being that some credit cards provide access only to certain lounges and not all PP Lounges.
The newly renovated Plaza Premium Lounge at KLIA is quite decent.
