About the time in Melaka
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.
Melaka 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.
Sunrise today lands at 07:09 and sunset at 07:19 local time, giving 12h 11m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (2.25, 102.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Melaka.
