About the time in Merdeka
Clocks in Merdeka 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 Indonesia.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Merdeka 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.
Merdeka sits at latitude -8.37, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 53m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
