About time in Singapore
Singapore uses Singapore Standard Time (SGT, UTC+8) all year. Singapore does not use daylight saving time, so its UTC offset never changes.
Singapore has used UTC+8 since 1982 and is on the same time as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei, Manila and Perth in Western Australia.
Singapore uses Singapore Standard Time, UTC+8, the same clock as China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Philippines. It has used that offset since 1982, when Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia moved from UTC+7:30 to UTC+8 so that the whole of Malaysia would share one time with its neighbours.
Singapore does not use daylight saving time, so its gap to other cities only changes when they change. It is 12 hours ahead of New York in the American summer and 13 in winter, and 7 or 8 hours ahead of London. Many companies use Singapore as their Asia hub because its working day overlaps the afternoon in Australia and the morning in Europe, and its time is the one people usually mean when they write "APAC hours".
