Call United Kingdom from Malaysia

When calling internationally, it's important to consider time zone differences to ensure you're calling at a convenient time.

When calling Malaysia (UTC+8), which has no daylight saving time, schedule calls during their business hours of 9 AM-6 PM, which translates to 1 AM-10 AM UTC or 8 PM-5 AM EST (UTC-5). Malaysia uses a single time zone across the entire country despite its geographic spread, making it easier to coordinate calls regardless of whether you're contacting Kuala Lumpur or East Malaysia. When calling the United Kingdom, which operates on GMT (UTC+0) in winter and BST (UTC+1) in summer, aim for late morning to early afternoon your time if you're calling from the Americas, or early evening if calling from Asia to catch UK business hours (9 AM-5 PM). Remember that the UK switches to Daylight Saving Time on different dates than many countries, typically the last Sunday in March and October, so verify the current time difference before important calls.
