Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, with a population of about 1,453,975. It uses the Malaysia Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Kuala_Lumpur).

Kuala Lumpur does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+8 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.

Other cities on the same clock include Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen.

Because Kuala Lumpur lies at 3.14° N, 101.69° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 18 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 57 min.
