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 PKT
Pakistan Standard Time (PKT) is UTC+5. It is used in Pakistan, all year.
Pakistan Standard Time is UTC+5 and does not change through the year — daylight saving has been tried twice and abandoned twice. It sits half an hour behind India, which is the only pair of neighbouring countries in the region separated by a half-hour step rather than a whole one, and a common source of missed calls across that border.
Does this gap change with the seasons?
Neither SGT nor PKT shifts with the seasons, so this 3-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.
