About time in George Town

George Town keeps Malaysia Time, UTC+8 from UTC all year. The offset never changes, so any difference between you and George Town moves only when your own clocks do.

George Town shares the zone Asia/Kuala_Lumpur with Kota Bharu, Kuala Lumpur, Klang, Kampung Baru Subang, so a time here is also the time there. One canonical page per zone keeps the difference honest: the settlement name changes, the clock does not.

Offsets and daylight saving rules come from the IANA time zone database — see IANA time zone notes for what that data does and does not promise about future dates.
