Q: "Technically US 11th = SING 12th, correct?"

What is SING 12. I wanna say it's a day ahead in North Korea. Does SING somehow mean another part of the world in the day ahead time zone?

Both NK and Singapore are on the other side of the International Date Line, so they are, for part of the day, one calendar date ahead. Singapore is 15 hours ahead of Pacific Daylight Time, and 18 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. So, if you made a phone call from Washington, DC, at 6:01 AM on the 11th of June to someone in Singapore they’d be answering their phone in Singapore at one minute after midnight on the 12th of June.

Singapore is 15 hours ahead of Pacific time, but only 12 votes ahead Eastern time.

I think Singapore is 12 hours different from Eastern Daylight time - 5:05 pm there, 5:05 am here, right now.
