Australian Time is wrong

[The_Observer]

Just to let you guys know...the time indicated there is wrong

We have daylight saving time here so at the moment:

if Malaysian time is 9.30 pm
Time on Eastern seaboard of Australia (AEST) is 11.30 pm
Western Australia (perth etc.) follow Malaysian time.

Check for when daylight saving time changes again later in the year! :)

Thanks for letting us know. I will signal Syamsul or Yusuf to correct it. Thank you. It is my mistake.

FYI, different regions of the world have different Daylight Saving starting and ending dates .. we don't have many active recommers from Australia and New Zealand so we are ignorant about what the dates for those two countries located on the other end of the world ... sorry about that ...

No worries, mate.

Would you want me tell you when the time changes again. I can't guarantee you I will remember! :D

About the time thingie...
Well, for 2004, earlier this year, we lost 1 hour. We reset the clock back 1 hour.
Later in the year...its moved forward.
Get it? We do have problems sometimes. Haahaha.

uh .. I guess we do have that kind of "lose one hour, gain one hour later" in the USA too .. it's not that we don't know what the heck Daylight Saving Time is ... what I meant was the exact dates of those changes are different from one country to another ...

The dates of the beginning and ending of DST also vary, but it commonly begins in the Northern Hemisphere at 2:00 AM on either the first Sunday in April or the last Sunday in March, and ends at 2:00 AM on the last Sunday in October. In the Southern Hemisphere, the beginning and ending dates are switched (thus the time difference between e.g. the UK and Chile may be 3, 4 or 5 hours).

Now, should I say "get it?" to you too?
