   If #DST (#DaylightSavingsTime) is good, countries like #China (1986–1992), #Japan (1948–1951), and #Korea (South: 1948–1951; 1955–1960; 1987–1988) would've kept on using it. They're doing perfectly fine without it.

   My country, the #Philippines, used DST multiple times in its history (1936–1937; 1954; 1978; 1990). The last time was mainly to conserve energy, and abandoned it after the energy crisis was solved.

   To countries still using DST, make up your mind. Either stay in Standard Time or permanent Daylight Time. It's good for you and everyone else. ^_~

     @youronlyone we're also doing well without it in #SouthAfrica - just irritating when I have to change my meeting time with someone in Australia twice a year, and it is always a chaotic change.

     @danie10 Yep! Very chaotic when you're dealing with global clients/partners.

     The majority of the world are not switching between standard and daylight times, those countries who still follow it should just pick one.
