About these time zones
Eastern Standard Time (EST)
Eastern Standard Time (EST) is UTC-5. Most places on Eastern Time use EST only in winter; from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November they observe Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4). People often write “EST” all year when they mean Eastern Time, so check which one is in effect.
Singapore Standard Time (SGT)
Singapore Standard Time (SGT) is UTC+8 all year. Singapore shares its offset with Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, China and Western Australia, and does not observe daylight saving time.
