If the MH sector an EK codeshare? You're really at the mercy of the check-in agent at MEL, but it is technically possible. You should be prepared to pick up at KUL though if they decline to through check you. You'll have much better luck if the onward is an EK codeshare though!
DXB-MEL is an ULH flight, so it is both day and night. If you go to the EK website it should show you the meals served and you can infer the service progression from there: usually lunch then dinner, iirc. They will adjust the early part of the flight to MEL time and then the latter part to DXB time, if that makes sense.
