Indonesia is
planning to merge its three different time zones into one as an effort to
increase the country’s economic competitiveness and bureaucratic efficiency.
Indonesia lies in three time zones, GMT+7, GMT+8 and GMT+9. Under the
so-called GMT+8 Program, Indonesia will consider all of its area as if they are
under the GMT+8 time zone.
“The GMT+8 will be the country’s base for time,” the spokesman for the
Committee for the Expansion and Acceleration of Indonesian Economic Growth
(KP3EI), Edib Muslim, told a discussion in Bogor, West Java, on Saturday as
quoted by Antaranews.com.
Edib said the three time-zone system had decreased the country’s
productivity as business people in the GMT+7 could lose a few hours to interact
with those in the GMT+9 area if both set their working hours between 9 a.m and
5 p.m. (hwa)
