Why people convert Ho Chi Minh to WIB time

Scheduling a call from Ho Chi Minh to WIB: a 10:00 AM start in Ho Chi Minh lands at 10:00 AM in WIB, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both Ho Chi Minh and WIB are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM ICT time (9:00 AM–5:00 PM WIB). That is roughly 8 hours of usable overlap.
Coordinating a Ho Chi Minh-based team with WIB contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
