Explanation

Singapore is sometimes said to be in the 'wrong' time zone because it uses UTC+8 despite being at longitude 103°E, which would typically correspond to UTC+7. Singapore moved from UTC+7.5 to UTC+8 in 1982 for economic reasons, primarily to align with Malaysian and Chinese business hours.
