In a press release from the Fijian Government, they announce Fiji will end DST on 2014-01-19 02:00: http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/DAYLIGHT-SAVINGS-TO-END-T...
The Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment is reminding the public that daylight savings will end on the 19th of January, 2014. Labour Minister, Jone Usamate said that the public will need to move their clocks one hour backwards at 2am on the same day.
Interesting enough they said 3 am in their previous announcement in August: http://www.fiji.gov.fj/Media-Center/Press-Releases/DAYLIGHT-SAVING-STARTS-ON...
Fiji will start daylight savings on Sunday 27th October, 2013 and end at 3am on Sunday 19th January, 2014.
