About SGT

Singapore Time (SGT) is UTC+8. It is used in Singapore and Malaysia.

Singapore Time is UTC+8 with no daylight saving. The offset is a historical curiosity: Singapore sits at about 104°E, which is geographically UTC+7, and moved to +8 in 1982 to align with Malaysia and Hong Kong for trade. The result is that the sun is at its highest around 1pm rather than noon, and sunrise is late all year.

About BDT

Bangladesh Standard Time (BDT) is UTC+6. It is used in Bangladesh, all year.

Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6 with no daylight saving. It is more often written BST, which is where the trouble starts: BST also means British Summer Time at UTC+1, and the two readings are five hours apart. Converter sites split on which they answer for and rarely say. BDT is the unambiguous way to write it, and worth using in anything that matters.

Does this gap change with the seasons?

Neither SGT nor BDT shifts with the seasons, so this 2-hour difference holds all year. That is unusual enough to be worth relying on: most cross-continental gaps move twice a year.

This is the reason scheduling systems store an IANA zone such as Region/City rather than an offset or an abbreviation: the zone knows its own rules and the offset does not.
