The Monday 5 December 2016 MH122, the 1430 hours SYD to KUL has been delayed (at least in part) by significant thunderstorm activity around SYD with 9M-MTN not taking off until 1626 hours.
 
Tuesday 13 December has MH141 (0830 hours from KUL down to SYD, A333 9M-MTL) having taken off at 1010 with a 70 minute delayed, 2055 hours arrival predicted this evening.
 
MH126, the uncomfortably scheduled 0225 hours PER - KUL took off at 0305 so arrival should be at 0832, 37 late with A333 9M-MTM.
 
On Friday 16 December, MH141 (the day flight, the 0830 hours from KUL to SYD) was airborne at 0939; arrival should be at 2028, 43 late. Aircraft is A333 9M-MTH.
 
MH123 (9M-MTJ, an A333), teh redeye from KUL down to SYD should arrive at roughly 1126, 41 late on Saturday 17 December.
 
On Sunday 18 December, MH129, the 0850 hours from KUL down to Mel took off at 1019. A333 9M-MTD should arrive at around 2051 tonight, 66 minutes late.
 
With the heavy rain and flash flooding in parts of Melbourne mid afternoon (from around 1500 hours) on Thursday 29 December, it looks like MEL may have been closed for a while.

In an hour and 19 minutes between 1459 and 1618 hours, MEL (airport) had 42.6 millimetres of rain: tropical conditions like Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur or Manila!

MH148, the 1510 hours MEL -KUL took off at 1620 with A333 9M-MTL. Arrival is expected at about 2129, 64 minutes late.

Tuesday 3 January sees MH129, the 0850 hours from KUL down to MEL having taken off at a late 1006. Arrival of A333 9M-MTE should be at 2028, 43 minutes behind schedule.
 
Friday 14 January sees MH122, the 1430 hours SYD - KUL that was airborne at 1548 (A333 9M-MTN) due to arrive at 2112, 77 minutes tardy.
 
MH129 on Sunday 15 January, the 0850 hours day flight from KUL down to MEL was airborne at 0953; arrival of A333 9M-MTG should be at around 2038, 53 minutes late.
 
The Tuesday 17 January MH141 (day flight - 0830 hours KUL - SYD that took off at 0954) has A333 9M-MTO. It is predicted to arrive in SYD at 2100 hours, 75 minutes late. As the returning MH140 is not scheduled to depart SYD until 2215 tonight, in theory it should be able to punctually depart, or be very close to that.

The more southerly bound 9M-MTF, the 0850 hours KUL - MEL was airborne at 0953 today. It should arrive at 2026, 41 late as MH129.
 
Friday 10 February 2017 sees MH129, the day flight from KUL down to MEL (A333 9M-MTM) not having taken off until 0947 compared with the pushback time of 0850. Arrival should be at about 2030, 45 minutes behind time.
 
On what was a stormy Friday afternoon in SYD (17 February 2017) with many domestics diverted to CBR and fewer to NTL, MH140, the late evening 2215 hours SYD - KUL (A333 9M-MTH) appears to have only moved off from its gate at about 2256, so unless it has an exemption it should not be proceeding northwestwards this evening.

UPDATE: MH140 took off at 2314, well past curfew, but to the south as is mandatory.
