One Asian currency to another via the $

Does it mean more money If I convert one Asian currency (into Euros/Pounds or Dollars first) and then convert it again to another Asian currency,

For example,

If i have 3000 Malaysian Ringit and I want to convert it Vietnamese Dong, should i change it to US dollars first or British pounds and then change that western currency to the Dong?

Or would I be saving time in just changing the Ringgit to Dong upon arrival in Vietnam?

Thanks

Only my experience, but it seems I have always gotten killed when exchanging one non-dominate currency for another. Nowadays - I just convert to US$ and then to the currency when I get where I am going.
