Timing, timing
To convert the Paris time to Malaysian time, we added 6 hours. Paris operates on Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2, while Malaysia is on Malaysia Time (MYT), which is UTC+8. This time difference means when it’s daytime in Paris, it’s already evening or night in Malaysia.
