-- Yes, in Hawaiʻi Standard Time (HST), since 1974 -- minus 5 years in Tonga -- having come here from EDT (Greater Boston) which I assume is LTʻs time zone. Singapore appears to be our "tomorrow",
as is Tonga, though hardly in Singaporeʻs zone -- in Tongaʻs case, they are just one hour before the same time of Hawaiiʻs "tomorrow". -- so 2:41 AM Sunday here at this writing, and 1:41 AM Monday in Tonga.
