Singapore and Hong Kong match Kuala Lumpur exactly, while Bangkok and Tokyo sit one hour either side. Only the London row changes between seasons.
Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia Time
Quick answer: Kuala Lumpur uses Malaysia Time (MYT) · UTC+8 year-round · no daylight saving.
Kuala Lumpur uses Malaysia Time (MYT), UTC+8, and Malaysia doesn't observe daylight saving. The country uses one standard time, so Penang, Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu all show the same clock as Kuala Lumpur.
UTC+8 is also the offset in Singapore, Hong Kong and Beijing, so Kuala Lumpur reads the same as each of them all year. Bangkok is one hour behind and Tokyo one hour ahead.
Gaps with London and the US change with their clocks, not Kuala Lumpur's. When a Kuala Lumpur team starts at 9:00 AM, London reads 1:00 AM in January and 2:00 AM in July and New York reads 8:00 PM the previous day in January and 9:00 PM the previous day in July.
Scheduling With Kuala Lumpur
From Bangkok, 8:00 AM is 9:00 AM in Kuala Lumpur. From Tokyo, 10:00 AM is 9:00 AM. From Singapore the time is the same, so a 9:00 AM Singapore call is 9:00 AM in Kuala Lumpur.
A London morning arrives in Kuala Lumpur's afternoon: 8:00 AM in London is 4:00 PM in January and 3:00 PM in July in Kuala Lumpur.
