Los Angeles (LAX) to Singapore via Tokyo: 182,750 miles roundtrip, 91,375 miles one way << That's Saver miles and no stopover is allowed
Standard miles allow stopover but cost 2x more. eg 400k miles roundtrip, 200k miles one way
Krisflyer saver awards if round trip does allow one stopover.
The Krisflyer program guide has details.

Direct to London also 9x k miles, if MAS no more 50% promo SQ sounds like a better choice. Maybe except the part where you need to get to Changi in the first place. But 4 seats a row business class, i am sold!
If you have a Krisflyer account you can poke around and select KUL as your originating airport. I think they require slightly more miles leaving from KUL compared to SIN, have to look at my previous KF redemption to see the difference.
The biggest problems with Krisflyer is it's really really hard to get availability on some routes eg. to/from JFK. YQ + tax also tends to be more expensive, Enrich KUL-LHR on business costs ~RM2400 in YQ + taxes, SQ KF KUL-SIN-LHR return on business is closer to RM3200.
For me SQ KF is definitely worth it simply because they fly to so many more places than MH, especially LAX/IAH/JFK for me.
