UTC+07:30 is an identifier for atime offset from UTC of +07:30.[1]
UTC+07:30 was used both asdaylight saving time as well asstandard time later inMalaya (theMalay peninsula) and Singapore.[2] Between 1941 and 1942 before theJapanese occupation, and from 1945 to 1965 after the occupation[3] Malaya and Singapore used UTC+07:30 as daylight saving time.[4] It was later in 1965 when Singapore decided to declare UTC+07:30 as its standard time.
TheMalaysian government announced in December 1981 that it would adjust Peninsular Malaysia’s time by 30 minutes on 1 January 1982 in order to keep common time withEast Malaysia. In view of Singapore’s close relations with Malaysia and also to prevent confusion for travellers and businessmen, theSingapore government made a very quick decision to follow suit.[5]
UTC+08:00 is the currenttime zone for Malaysia and Singapore and this standard time has been in use since 1982.[6]
