As of 1.59 am this morning, the time were changed back to 1 am instead of 2am. As a result, we are 14 hours behind Singapore instead of 13. Therefore, iftar is at 5.06pm instead of 6.06pm. In a way, we gained an hour more sleep but for those working during that night shift, they had to work an extra hour instead. As far as I understand, the time is actually reverted back to Standard Time, in other words, Daylight Saving Time ends. Daylight Saving Time will begin again in April next year.
I am wondering, if it's just bcos they wanted to save electricity, why don't they just change the timer for the road lights etc to be on instead of changing time itself? Surprisingly, it's a worldwide phenomenon except in countries near the Equator ....hmmmm
