Okay, but what exactly is the offset from GMT? And is there any
daylight-savings convention there?
Looking in the zic database, I find
# Singapore
# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Asia/Singapore 6:55:24 - LMT 1880
6:55:24 - SMT 1905 Jun # Singapore Mean Time
7:00 - MALT 1933 # Malaya Time
7:20 - MALT 1942 Feb 15
9:00 - JST 1945 Sep 2
7:20 - MALT 1950
7:30 - MALT 1965 Aug 9 # independence
7:30 - SGT 1982 May # Singapore Time
8:00 - SGT
and no other entries defining "SGT". So it seems it'd be reasonable to
define SGT as GMT+8, although strictly speaking this'd be incorrect for
years before 1982.
Comments?
