Is his action suspect? It looks ok to me?

Pakistan spinner reported over action
Pakistani off-spinner Saeed Ajmal has been reported for a suspected illegal bowling action on the eve of his side’s third one-day match against Australia in Abu Dhabi.
Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam said the team was told of the report on Sunday, which related to his doosra, but Ajmal would still play against Australia on Monday.
“It’s very surprising actually and it’s sad also,” Alam said.
“He has played four series, he played against India, West Indies at Abu Dhabi and then he played against the Sri Lankans and nobody raised any objection, nobody raised a finger at him.”
Ajmal caused Australia plenty of trouble in the series-opener in Dubai, which Pakistan won comfortably, although they were able to handle him better in the second match, won by Australia.
Alam said the International Cricket Council would take three to four weeks to assess Ajmal’s action, but he was confident he would be cleared.
“I’m not really bothered, he will keep on playing,” Alam said.
"I personally feel, I have seen Murali bowl and he’s been cleared, I’ve seen Harbhajan bowl and he’s been cleared, there’s no difference.
