A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date, but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November).
... It is getting stranger that same date newspaper # No. 16578 (07/11/2008), L'Express Mauritius have 2 different articles: English language article "The revival of daylight saving time : Energy conservation?"- restates introduction of DST from 1st November 2008 to 31st March 2009. http://www.lexpress.mu/display_article.php?news_id=110718 or http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_mauritius02.html However same date (07/11/2008) and same reference newspaper # No. 16578 - different article in French language "Le gouvernement avance l’introduction de l’heure d’été" states that DST in Mauritius will start on October 26 and will end on March 27 ...??? http://www.lexpress.mu/display_article.php?news_id=111216 or http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_mauritius02.html Regards, Alexander Krivenyshev, http://www.worldtimezone.com New York, NY
