About time in Singapore
Singapore is eight hours ahead of UTC even though its longitude suggests about seven — it shifted its clocks forward in 1982 to align with peninsular Malaysia and Hong Kong, trading solar accuracy for commercial convenience. The result is unusually late sunrises and sunsets for a city almost exactly on the equator, where day length barely varies all year.
