When
I first came to northern Borneo, I was surprised that it became
completely dark at 6:15pm. Of course it could not be compared to a
dark, cold, windy twilight at 3:30pm in Washington DC in winter!
Then
it came to me that during my few rail journeys from Penang to Bangkok
and then Chiangmai, sunrise and sunset were around 6am or 6pm by Thai
time. So that is what it would be like if the time zone is smack on
an area as it should be.
In
Kuala Lumpur, the sun does not rise until about 7am in January.
Correspondingly, it does not set until about 8pm. Of course,
Peninsular adopted that time zone to be in sync with Sabah and
Sarawak. Therefore in Peninsular, people would have to live with a
late sunrise and therefore a late sunset; after all, that is the most
accurate time zone for western Sabah.
Anyway,
I am reaping the benefits now. I sleep earlier and awake earlier.
That would be one of the criteria of a healthy life.
