Emirates is a partner airline and follows the same redemption table as other OW and non-OW partners:
https://enrich.malaysiaairlines.com/enrich/...s/emirates.htmlSIN to DXB to LHR is 7054 miles and I believe a connection like this can be booked as a single flight in the Zone 4 bucket.
You cannot redeem for First class so you are looking at 202,000 points in Business return or 92,000 points in Economy return, plus taxes. The taxes often mean long-haul economy redemptions don't make any sense compared to buying a cash ticket.
From the Award Chart you will see the Business rate is cheaper than the Enrich Saver rate for Malaysia Airlines so these partner redemptions can make sense.
The tricky part is finding availability - this is true of any airline program and there are a number of third party services designed to help as only select ticket fares are actually redeemable for points; e.g.
https://seats.aero/emirates/departing/SIN?o...Region=AnywhereIt would make sense to find availability first and then call the MAS Call center or visit the or Malaysia Airlines Ticket Offices for booking as they do not have special tools nor expertise in finding reward flight availability.

Any recent experiences redeeming that you can share?
End to end process if possible, to give a good idea on how it works and which channel is reliable.
But from what I can understand, you described the process as
1. Search for award seats (generally third party)
2. Call CS to do redemption
3. Obtain tickets & travel
Now, the first few questions that I can think of would be:
1. Do we redeem Enrich points direct? or do we need to convert to say skyward miles first?
2. If enrich points direct, the rates are essentially as reflected above?
Thanks in advance.
