... that Rangoon kept its own time for over two decades after Burma Standard Time first came into effect? Source: (RE 1906: 346) and (USNBS 1935: 3) for the start of Burma Standard Time in July 1905. (USNI 1928: 723) for Rangoon Mean Time still being used in Rangoon in April 1927. (Kinns 2020: 545) for a summary of Admiralty lists that shows RMT was still being used an official time signal along side BST in 1922 at the Rangoon time ball observatory, and only in 1930 that BST alone was signaled.

Myanmar Standard time in Time module

A request has been placed with the owner of the Time module to update it with MMT (Myanmar Standard Time) so that the error in the info box will be corrected (Time module is edit-protected, or I'd have updated it myself). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:CA70:0:0:0:E438 (talk) 20:56, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
