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