About Malaysia Time

Cities on this clock: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore.

About Japan Standard Time

Japan is a fixed UTC+9 and has had no daylight saving since 1951. It shares its clock with Korea exactly, so a schedule that works for Tokyo works unchanged for Seoul.

Cities on this clock: Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul.

How the difference is worked out

Neither Malaysia Time nor Japan Standard Time moves its clock relative to the other, so japan standard time is 1 hour ahead of malaysia time is a rule rather than a fact about one particular year. The hour-by-hour table above holds on every date.

With both zones on their own standard time — daylight saving not in force anywhere — Japan Standard Time is 1 hour ahead of Malaysia Time. That figure never changes; everything else on this page follows from it plus whichever clocks have moved.

Every figure here comes from the IANA time zone database via your browser's own Intl engine, using the zone ids Asia/Kuala_Lumpur and Asia/Tokyo. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
