Singapore uses Singapore Time (SGT, UTC+8) year-round with no Daylight Saving Time. Singapore is situated near the equator, which means daylight hours barely vary throughout the year, making DST unnecessary. SGT aligns with Kuala Lumpur (MYT), Hong Kong (HKT), and China (CST).
Tokyo uses Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9) year-round. Japan does not observe Daylight Saving Time — the country trialled it briefly after WWII but abandoned it. The fixed JST offset makes Japan scheduling particularly straightforward despite the large distance from Europe and the Americas.
The offset between Singapore and Tokyo is fixed — neither location observes Daylight Saving Time.
| Period | Note | Singapore | Tokyo | Offset |
