The domestic lounge will close on June 15th and reopen on September 1st. A temporary lounge will be near gate B3 I think.

Domestic is still open. Am in it as we speak.
I really don't see why they need to do major renovations for the domestic lounge. The carpet needs replacing, fair enough. The showers/toilet maybe needs to be re-done. But everything else is still good in my opinion.
If anything, the international lounge needed a major overhaul more than the domestic.
I can see why the regional is being upgraded though it was fine for me.
Maybe the plan is a fresh look every five years to keep up with image and freshness?

Domestic doesn't need any renovations. Just improvements on the food/meal options, drink options for now.
Its very popular as it is with domestic travellers.

I still think there is no need to renovate the domestic lounge. It is fine the way it is and a waste of $ upgrading it.
Improve the food.
More vegetable dishes and perhaps a tau-fu dish.
No milo available which is a bit disappointing.
Improve the drink selection. Upgrade the shower facilities and provide disposable flip flops to use in the showe/toilet area.
Add mobile phone charging points and UPGRADE the WIFI standards. At the moment, it is hit and miss. Sometimes it's fast. Other times it's slow.

Travelling to from LHR to DPS via KUL on 2nd August in J on Malaysia. What’s our best options for lounges whilst this refurb is going on. I don’t have any status with other airlines and it’s our first time travelling through KUL.
Thanks

You could use the CX lounge too in the same building but it isnt that much better than the MH one, and is much smaller.

Btw, the domestic lounge is still not closed yet. Understand that the refurbishment work will only start from/after 3-July - this, after a few deferments.
Temporary lounge remains the space at gate B3 - So does this mean gate B3 will never be used to board pax during the time the temp lounge is located there? Seems to be a waste as there are usually insufficient gates during the morning rush hours for Malindo flights.

Then they were grossly misinformed.
