Singapore elected to follow suit, citing business and travel schedules. In 1981, Malaysia decided to standardise the time across its territories to a uniform UTC+08:00. The 20-minute offset was formally adopted as standard time in Singapore in 1936, and on 1 September 1941 the offset was increased to 30 minutes, the same as the 1920 proposal. īetween 19, the Daylight Saving Ordinance, 1932 was extended throughout both years by Gazette Notifications. The Ordinance was passed at a meeting of the Legislative Council held on 5 December 1932 and approved by Sir Cecil Clementi (Governor) on 15 December 1932. On 26 September 1932, a bill was intituled as Daylight Saving Ordinance, 1932. In 1932, Sir Arnold Percy Robinson raised the idea of 20-minute offset after an earlier attempt was abandoned in 1920 which was first proposed by Sir Laurence Guillemard for a 30-minute offset. The bill was read for the first time on 5 July 1920 but was later abandoned. It is to introduce a 30-minutes offset or seven and a half hour in advance of Greenwich mean time. On 2 July 1920, a bill was intituled as Daylight Saving Ordinance, 1920. Daylight saving time in Singapore Īlthough Singapore does not currently observe daylight saving time in the traditional sense due to its tropical location, a form of daylight saving time, using a 20-minute offset, was introduced on an annual basis by the Legislative Council of the Straits Settlements in 1933. Īt the end of World War II and the return of the Straits Settlements to the British, Singapore reverted to its pre-war time zone. įollowing the Japanese occupation, Singapore (known as Syonan-to during this time) adopted the Tokyo Standard Time of GMT+09:00 on 15 February 1942. History Īs part of the Straits Settlements, Singapore originally adopted the Malayan time, which was GMT+07:30 in 1941. Singapore does not observe daylight saving time. ^ "WGT – West Greenland Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".Singapore Standard Time ( SST), also known as Singapore Time ( SGT), is used in Singapore and is 8 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+08:00).^ "WGST – West Greenland Summer Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".^ "TFT – French Southern and Antarctic Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".^ "NOVT – Novosibirsk Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".^ Book (eISB), electronic Irish Statute.^ "Time Change in Papua New Guinea, 28 December 2014".^ "AQTT – Aqtobe Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".^ "ANAT – Anadyr Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".^ "ALMT – Alma-Ata Time (Time Zone Abbreviation)".Middle European Summer Time ( same zone as CEST) Hovd Summer Time ( not used from 2017-present) Heure Avancée d'Europe Centrale French-language name for CEST South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Time Such designations predate both ISO 8601 and the internet era in an earlier era, they were sufficiently unambiguous for many practical uses within a national context (for example, in railway timetables and business correspondence), but their ambiguity explains their deprecation in the internet era, when communications more often cannot rely on implicit geographic context to supply part of the meaning.Īustralian Central Western Standard Time (unofficial)īritish Summer Time ( British Standard Time from Mar 1968 to Oct 1971)Ĭentral Western Standard Time (Australia) unofficialĪIX-specific equivalent of Central European Time Įastern Caribbean Time (does not recognise DST) Such designations can be ambiguous for example, "CST" can mean China Standard Time (UTC+8), Cuba Standard Time (UTC−5), and (North American) Central Standard Time (UTC−6), and it is also a widely used variant of ACST ( Australian Central Standard Time, UTC+9:30). Time zones are often represented by alphabetic abbreviations such as "EST", "WST", and "CST", but these are not part of the international time and date standard ISO 8601 and their use as sole designator for a time zone is discouraged. This is a list of time zone abbreviations. ( January 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations.
