Risto Nykänen <ristonykanen@luukku.com> has reported to me that both Tonga and Fiji has stopped using DST. I have tried to research this a little bit further, and found an official statement about Fiji: from http://www.fiji.gov.fj/core/press/2000_09_26_4.html
The interim government has decided not to introduce "daylight saving" this year.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Labour said the decision follows strong opposition from some commercial enterprises and the Ministry of Education who were concerned about the disruptions caused to school children, especially during the examination periods.
This means that as from Sunday 4th, November, there will be no change as normal standard time will keep on operating.
I have not found anything for Tonga, but it is actually no surprise if they have stopped using DST, as the "first into year 2000" hype has ended. Back in March I found a notice on the website http://www.tongaonline.com that Tonga changed back to standard time one month early, on March 19 instead of the original reported date April 16. Unfortunately, the article is no longer available on the site, and I did not make a copy of the text, and I have forgotten to report it here.
