Singapore Time Zone. There is zero difference.This is like asking "Please add San Francisco Time Zone, only Los Angeles is listed."
The options are based on the IANA Time Zone Database which is globally relied upon. You'll see the same options across most software anywhere in the world.
This doesn't make Singapore any less "importan", just as Los Angeles being listed doesn't make San Francisco any less important.
PS I operate in KL/Singapore Time Zone, and I'm from California but I don't insist that they list Denpasar or San Francisco.

JLW Online Hi, I know this, Beijing time is also no difference to KL Then why not we all use being time zone? It is because our Singapore clients will feel strange.

John Yao I did a bit more research on this, and it seems I was slightly mistaken. I thought KL was the canonical city for UTC+8; that wasn't exactly correct.
In current IANA TZDB, Asia/Singapore is the canonical zone name and Asia/Kuala_Lumpur is marked as a backward/legacy link.

JLW Online Hi Jordan, Yes, and Singapore shall also be an important city compare to KL, I know they are the same time zone and functionally wise, they are the same, and they got no difference compare to Beijing and Shanghai timezone as well. But Since we are based in Singapore, we prefer if this can be one of the option so clients feels the system is locally optimized.
