The Gold Coast Colony and Sarawak are the only remaining territories in the Eastern Hemisphere in which Summer Time operates, the advance being twenty minutes in each case. With regard to the Western Hemisphere, the chief cities in Eastern Canada adopt Daylight Saving time, but most towns and rural communities throughout the Dominion observe normal time. The U.S.A. Federal " Summer Time" Law has been repealed; some States have Daylight Saving time, but its

Standard time.―Brunei standard time is 7 hours 30 minutes fast on Greenwich civil time.

Gold Coast Colony, 20 minutes fast; U.S.S.R., all clocks permanently advanced one hour; U.S.A. and Canada and Nova Scotia—adopted in some, but not all, states by local regulation; Newfoundland and Labrador, British Honduras, 30 minutes fast; Argentine, Chile, one hour fast throughout the year; Falkland Islands, one hour fast; Sarawak, 20 minutes fast ; New Zealand, 30 minutes fast.

Now that Hongkong has adopted zone time, the directors of the British North Borneo Company intend to arrange for the adoption of zone time in Labuan and North Borneo, and to send instructions to that effect to Mr. Gueritz accordingly

This volume contains ... proposal to adopt Singapore Mean Time as the Standard Time

A recent Order published in the Government Gazette lays down that Sarawak Standard time shall be reckoned as 7 hrs. 30 min. ahead of Green- wich Mean Time.

The true local time for various outstations in Sarawak has been worked out by the Superin- tendent of Surveys as follows :―

• Lundu 7hrs. 19 min. 20 sec. ahead of Green- wich Mean Time.
• Kuching 7 hours 21 minutes 20 seconds.
• Sadong 7 〃 23 〃
• Simanggang 7 〃 26 〃 40 〃
• Sibu 7 〃 27 〃 20 〃
• Mukah 7 〃 28 〃 40 〃
• Bintulu 7 〃 32 〃 20 〃
• Miri 7 〃 36 〃
• Limbang 7 〃 40 〃 20 〃

The Standard Time of 7 hours 30 minutes now adopted for the State of Sarawak is thus nearest to the true local time for the centre of the territory, and gives Kuching a saving of 9 minutes.

Standard Time for Malaya is 7 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time ; for China, Philippines and the State of North Borneo it is 8 hours. In Sarawak thus our Standard Time will be half an hour ahead of Singapore, but half an hour behind Hongkong.

The Kuching Wireless Station receives time signals every day, and will give the right time to Outstations in Sarawak.

The effect of new Order on the amount of daylight available for us in Kuching has been studied. It appears that the sun rises at its latest about mid-February (6.27 a.m.) then gradually rises earlier until it has knocked off some 20 min- utes slothfulness by rising at 6.06 a.m. in May. A reaction then sets in until the end of July when it lazily rises at 6.18 a.m. Once more it has a period of earlier rising, improving through August, September and October until it rises under Sara- wak Standard Time at 5.56 a.m. the first week in November. Thereafter it gets rapidly later until it reaches its latest rising time in mid-Februrary as recorded above.

The hour of setting follows fairly closely the hour of rising. Thus the latest hour of sunset in the year in Kuching is 6.29 p.m. in mid-February, shortening to 6.14 p.m. in mid-May ; lengthening again to 6.24 p.m. at the end of July ; and reaching its earliest time in mid-November at 5.58 p.m.

If we take a quarter of an hour before sunrise and quarter of an hour after sunset as daylight(of sorts), we thus have throughout the year about 12$\frac{\text{<span>1</span>}}{\text{<span>2</span>}}$ hours every day. From mid-January to mid-March this daylight extends from about 6.06 a.m. to 6.39 p m. For remaining ten months of the year it ex ten dsfrom about 5.50 a.m. to about 6.30 p m.

『昭南(シンガポールの日本名)特別市史』から、シンガポール市政を担当した軍政要員の日常を再現してみよう。

通常の勤務時間は朝の八時から夕方四時まで。これは現地時間でなく日本時間であることに注意しておく必要がある。

軍政はあくまで軍に従属するものであり、日本軍はどこにいようとすべて日本時間で統一するからであった。

しかし時差があるから、作戦行動はともかく、日常生活では奇妙なことになる。

シンガポールの場合、時差は二時間。したがって、現地時間では朝六時に出勤し、昼二時には仕事は終わりである。

実際の退庁時間は大体現地時間の三時頃、マンデー(水浴び)のあとに昼寝し、そのあとテニスに打ち興じたものだという。

以下は、マレーシアの国定教科書中学校二年用『歴史の中のマレーシア』の邦訳です。

マレーシアの日本人は、仕事の時間を決めるのに日本時間を使用するよう主張した。これがどんなに混乱をもらたすことか想像できるだろう。

Local standard time is eight hours ahead of Greenwich time (meridian 120°E). As the mean longitude of the State is roughly 115°E there is a sort of natural daylight saving ot about twenty minutes.

night but in Sibu everybody swore by the time according to his own watch and it was impossible to get people to be punctual at all. The D.O. of Sibu finally got fed up with this, as the following report testifies: "It seems difficult to ascertain the correct time of day in Sibu for the simple reason that so many people are having their own version of the time. It is evident that in the absence of such a standard time signal confusion is bound to occur.

UTC+07:20 was used as daylight saving time in Singapore between 1933 and 1941.[1] On midnight January 1st, 1933,[2] people in Singapore switched from UTC+07:00 to UTC+07:20 when clocks were turned forward 20 minutes. This time was used till midnight of September 1st, 1941[3] when UTC+07:30 started to be used.

UTC+07:30 was used both as daylight saving time as well as its Standard Time later in Singapore. Between 1941 and 1942 before the Japanese occupation, and from 1945 to 1970 after the occupation, Singapore used UTC+07:30 as its daylight saving time. It was later in 1970 that Singapore decided to declare UTC+07:30 as its Singapore Standard Time.

Covering Date:

01/01/1947-31/12/1947

Scope and Content:

Letters from the Colonial Office expressing a hope that the time zones in Borneo will be standardised. At the present North Borneo and Brunei are on Hong Kong time whilst Sarawak is on Singapore time. Because of the geography of the island, anomalies do occur especially in the Brunei Bay area.  Other letters details the reasons for the different zones. The Chief Civil Affairs Officer in Malaya suggests that Sarawak should also conform to Hong Kong time and notes the fact that the three British territories would be then out of step with Dutch Borneo is immaterial. However the officials in Sarawak disagreed.

政治的理由ですが、ボルネオ島ではマレーシアとインドネシアの 国境紛争が頻発しています。ここでインドネシアと同じ GMT+7 を 採用すると、マレーシアがボルネオ島を使わせてもらっていると いう雰囲気になります。それを避け、あくまでインドネシアとは 違う国だとアピールするには、GMT+8 が都合よかったのでしょう。

このほか、合併後の標準時は、北ボルネオを基準にすることも取り決められた。マレー半島側の標準時が、同経度にあるタイと異なっているのも、この取り決めによる。

こうした取り決めで、サバとサラワクはマレーシアの一部として独立した。

マハティール氏は、リー氏との交流を振り返り、両国の標準時の統一で協力した以外は「ほとんどの問題で私たちは合意できなかった」と指摘。

1981年12月に、マハティールは国内を一つの時間帯に統一するため、マレー半島の標準時を変更し(マレーシア標準時)、リーもこれに同調した。マハティールとの関係は1982年以降非常に良いものとなった。

Because of this guy:-

The 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Mahathir.

It is understandable why he want to standardise the Peninsular (West Malaysia) time zone and the East Malaysia time zone, but what puzzle me is why the time is aligned to East Malaysia time.

I mean, why doesn't he take the mid time between WM and EM? Why doesn't he request all states aligned to the Kuala Lumpur time zone ? My parent's generation rarely talks about the rationality behind this. I guess it does not worth the effort to question THE MAHATHIR on this issue. So, everyone just shut up and accept his decision.

“standard time” means 8 hours in advance of Greenwich mean time,or such other period in advance of Greenwich mean time as His Majesty in Councilmay by Order signified in the Gazette prescribe;
