About the time in Penang
Penang runs on Asia/Makassar, 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.
Clocks in Penang 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:07 and sunset at 05:57 local time, giving 11h 50m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-9.84, 120.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Penang.
