Just an update: We have called a hotel in Samoa and asked about local time there - they are still on standard time. Best regards, Steffen - timeanddate.com Alexander Krivenyshev wrote:
First, my deepest condolences to people of Samoa islands and all families and loved ones around the world who lost their lives in the earthquake and tsunami.
Considering the recent devastation on Samoa by earthquake and tsunami and that many government offices/ ministers are closed- not sure if "Daylight Saving Bill 2009" will be implemented in next few days- on October 4, 2009.
Here is reply from Consulate-General of Samoa in New Zealand --------------------------- Consul General consulgeneral@samoaconsulate.org.nz
Talofa Alexander,
Thank you for your sympathy for our country but at this time we have not been informed about the Daylight Savings Time Change. Most Ministries in Apia are closed or relocating due to weather concerns.
When we do find out if they are still proceeding with the time change we will advise you soonest.
Kind Regards, Lana for: Consul General --------------------------
