my sister is in Egypt, studying. we know for a fact that the time difference between malaysian time and egypt's is 6 hours..9pm in malaysia means 3pm in egypt. But yesterday my sister told me that now the time difference should be 5 hours only, that is 9pm in malaysia = 4pm in egypt.
Mum was puzzled. She asked me, can the egyptian change their time just like dat?? so i asked my sister about it. she said it is due to the DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME, which was introduced by the British in egypt during the world war II...she didn't explain so much because she wasn't sure either..so i google to search for DST,and obviously the rationale behind it. i found few interesting stuff which u can read here:

today, approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. amazing. i guess they have long found a way to adjust their life (especially economically) when night time is longer than the day time.
