About the time in Alor Setar
The zone identifier Asia/Kuala_Lumpur is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Kuala_Lumpur keeps pointing at Kuala Lumpur time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Alor Setar sits at latitude 6.12, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 18m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Alor Setar runs on Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, which puts the city UTC +8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
