The Johor–Singapore Causeway carries on the order of 300,000 crossings a day, which makes it one of the busiest land border crossings anywhere. It has been in service since 1924 and was briefly blown up in 1942.
The clock: both sides keep UTC+8. Peninsular Malaysia moved to it on 1 January 1982, and Singapore followed the same day so the two would stay in step.
Johor Bahru lies at 103.7°E. Its time zone, UTC+8, is built around the 120°E meridian. The 16.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 65 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:05 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+8 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 12m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 12h 2m. The swing between them is 10 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Johor Bahru the sun comes up earliest on 30 October at 06:47, while the latest sunset waits until 17 February at 19:21. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Johor Bahru that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
