   Why is the TZ difference between Tokyo and Singapore only 1h???

     @codewiz There's some history behind that. In brief, it used to be UTC+7:30. During the Japanese occupation in World War II, it was UTC+9:00 (same as Japan). Then it went back to UTC+7:30 and then to UTC+8:00 when Peninsula Malaysia moved to the same TZ as Borneo Malaysia.

     @sohkamyung btw, do you live here in Singapore?

     @sohkamyung I'm staying for the F1GP. If you have time for a beer, I'd be free Friday night.

     @sohkamyung Hey @loke! I will also be free Saturday all day, probably walking round the F1 circuit and visiting Little India. Any tips for viewing the Grand Prix without paying $1000?

     @loke @sohkamyung I'll go scout tomorrow, but in Google Maps, the only restaurant facing the track seems to be a McDonalds 😅

     @loke @sohkamyung Thank you!

     Of course it was already fully booked for Sunday night, but I booked a table for Saturday night's qualifying race.
