The Olson data indicates that there was a previous use of DST in 2002. 
If that didn't happen, it needs fixing to give correct historic information.

It has had data for 2008 since May 19th, although it looks like they 
could do with more official information; if the transition time is 
actually 00:01:00 local wall clock time, rather than 00:00:00 please 
submit a correction, and if possible include a copy of, or a link to, an 
official document - English would be better, but I'm sure they would be 
able to find someone who can read Urdu (the submission information is at 
the top of the relevant file (asia) - it doesn't require supporting 
documents, but I can't see that they will do any harm:

"man zic", on a system that supports Olson data, tells you how to 
interpret the files and how to create new binary versions.

The Microsoft article also gives information for manually updating 
Windows for the Pakistan change.  I believe they are using 00:00:00 as 
the transition time.

It looks like neither Pakistan nor Morocco has considered computer 
useres in the timing of the announcement of the DST legislation.
