According to media article in NZ the akl-dxb nonstop may on resumption initally not be the a380.

Any thoughts on when the DXB-SIN-MEL might resume?

Looks like EK448 is diverting to KUL again this evening (which used to be the transit point throughout the pandemic):

Looks like a KL diversion on 13th and 14th January. Wonder if there were loads issues, weather in AKL or other factors - looks like a 3hr travel time increase overall with a ~1400-1430 instead of 1100-1130 so presumably somewhat planned ex-DXB.
