Frequently Asked Questions about DST in Singapore
Does Singapore observe Daylight Saving Time?
No, Singapore does not observe Daylight Saving Time. Clocks stay on the same time year-round. Several countries near the equator and in low-latitude regions skip DST because daylight hours change little across seasons.
What time zone is Singapore on after DST ends?

Why doesn't Singapore use Daylight Saving Time?
Countries near the equator gain almost no benefit from DST because day length barely changes across the year. Other countries have abandoned DST due to public opposition, energy studies showing little benefit, or to simplify scheduling. Singapore falls into one of these categories.
