<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=392361602-15062009>Bangladesh is
applying DST this 20.th.of June. In file tzdata2009i this is the attempt to
implement it:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

not had anything close to "DST" since 1951, and then we zero-set DST January
1st. 2009? Then after implementation of DST next Saturday we leave it dangling
for the next millenium? Probably this is really just a "typo"

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=392361602-15062009>So Bangladesh
leaves DST with year end of 2009, since we have no authoritative information.
But this is not a very good guess in my opinion, in fact Steffen Thorsen
mentions semi-authoritative information:</DIV></SPAN></FONT></FONT>

minister for power said earlier in 2009 that the new timing might continue until
<BR>the end of September. Timeanddate.com will provide an update on the DST end
date when it becomes available.<SPAN class=392361602-15062009>"</SPAN></DIV>
