# Sabah and Sarawak

> Sabah and Sarawak have 18 JAKIM zones of their own (9 + 9). Maghrib in Kota Kinabalu or Kuching is not Maghrib in Kuala Lumpur. Travellers to Borneo must switch zones. Skip this if you already opened an SBH or SWK page.

## Does Sabah use the same times as KL?

No. East Malaysia has **18 JAKIM zones** — 9 Sabah and 9 Sarawak. Examples: **SBH07** Kota Kinabalu, **SWK08** Kuching. WLY01 is only Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

On the same day, Fajr and Maghrib in KK differ from KL. Copy-pasting peninsula times to Borneo is a common global-app error.

## How do I pick a zone in Borneo?

Pick the district, not “Sabah” as one clock. Sabah has nine zones; the west coast and the interior are not the same. Sarawak likewise — Kuching is not Miri.

- Open the destination city in the [city list](/en/cities/).

- Note the SBH or SWK code.

- Use that zone's imsakiyah while you are there, not your home zone.

## What about Labuan?

Labuan is WLY02, a separate federal territory — still not WLY01. Do not merge the three federal territories into one table.
