Kuala Lumpur×Tashkent
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Kuala Lumpur uses the MYR (RM) and Tashkent uses the UZS (so'm). Language shifts too — English in Kuala Lumpur, Russian in Tashkent. Be careful behind the wheel: Kuala Lumpur drives on the left, Tashkent on the right.

What's the time difference between Kuala Lumpur and Tashkent?
Kuala Lumpur is 3 hours behind Tashkent. Kuala Lumpur runs on GMT+8 and Tashkent on GMT+5. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 5 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
Does daylight saving time change the difference?
Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.
