at least better than masuk US, multiple timezone. terus pening.

i dont care about matahari naik or turun, but i scared kena tinggal flight, terlepas meeting or something, make tons of guessing which time zone does the client talks about.

its just to simplify life lor

like someone above said, if you play around with alot of time zones it gets confusing. like last time i used to work for US region, between New York and California side both also different time zones. it gets really complex to arrange things

to be exact, it depends when you were born.
eg, if you were born in between 1945 sept 2 - 1982 May, your calculated life duration vs real duration has a 30min gap.

If you search today's sunset at the furthest East city and furthest West, there's >1 hour difference

Tawau = 6:14PM
Penang = 7:26PM

Yeah Semenanjung one doesn't seem natural at all
