About the time in Kuala Lumpur
Sunrise today lands at 07:10 and sunset at 07:22 local time, giving 12h 12m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (3.14, 101.69) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kuala Lumpur.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kuala Lumpur day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 01:00–09:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Clocks in Kuala Lumpur stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +8 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Malaysia.
