Malaysia Airlines Delays/Cancellations

MH129 KUL-MEL is having a terrible week so far. This is the 3rd consecutive day that this service is running late. Arrival is expected at 20 51, 96 min tardy. (A333 9M-MTI) is the aircraft operating the delayed service.
 
MH149, the overnight 2210 hours Thursday 29 August KUL - MEL (A333 9M-MTL) was not in the sky until 2231 so on Friday 30, arrival should be 0907 hours, 72 minutes behind schedule. As MH148 is not timetabled to push back from MEL until 1355 for the trip back to KUL, it should be punctual, showing the value of international airlines allowing long outstation turnarounds.
 
MH129 KUL-MEL (A333 9M-MTB) faces a 4th consecutive delay this week. The flight scheduled today for Friday 30th August is predicted to arrive at 20 29, 74 min tardy.

No obvious reason for these continual delays, as each aircraft has had way more than minimum turnaround allowed in KUL.

I looked up MH3 from LHR (due into KUL at 0715 hours) but that drew a blank as it's mostly on time or early.

A333 9M-MTE is on Saturday 31 August's MH129 with the flight again tardy. It did not take off until 1112 hours so MEL mooted arrival is 2032 hours, 77 late.

The aircraft then took off from MEL at 1020 with arrival likely in ADL at 1059, so departure for KUL should be at around 1220, 215 minutes late.
 
The 0920 hours KUL - MEL on Thursday 19 September, MH129, took off at 1004 with A333 9M-MTM. Arrival should be at 1948 hours, 33 late.
