Countries in Europe and North America move their clocks in spring and autumn. Their difference from Brunei therefore changes by an hour twice a year, while the clock in Brunei stays where it is.
Countries on the same time as Brunei.
These countries keep the same standard offset from Coordinated Universal Time, UTC+8, so their clocks read the same for most of the year. See every country on the countries page.
