About United Kingdom Time

How the difference is worked out

The gap between Malaysia Time and United Kingdom Time is not one number. The two zones change their clocks on different dates, so for part of the year the difference is 7 hours and for the rest it is something else — the table above lists each stretch of 2026 with the date it starts and which country's clocks moved.

With both zones on their own standard time — daylight saving not in force anywhere — United Kingdom Time is 8 hours behind 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 Europe/London. Nothing is looked up on a server and nothing about your visit is recorded.
