Penang follows Malaysia Time (UTC+8) year-round.

If your flights from Penang to Singapore and onwards to Los Angeles are booked on a single Singapore Airlines itinerary, we will normally check your bags through to Los Angeles. You should still confirm the final tagged destination of your checked baggage at check-in in Penang.
