About the time in Kuala Lumpur
Around 2,075,600 people live in Kuala Lumpur, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Kuala Lumpur sits at latitude 3.14, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 12m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
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.
