About Singapore
Singapore holds a fixed offset year-round with no daylight saving, eight hours ahead of UTC — a notable detail given its longitude, since the country sits further east on the clock than the sun would suggest. Its position makes it the standard meeting point for Asian regional business, with a working day that reaches both the European morning and the Australian afternoon.
