Good to know about the time in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is on UTC+8 all year round, with no daylight saving time.
On 1 January 1982, Peninsular Malaysia put its clocks forward by half an hour to have the same time as Sabah and Sarawak, on the island of Borneo; Singapore followed on the same day. The city therefore runs ahead of the sun, which reaches its highest point around 13:13 (mean solar noon).
