Hello tzdata developers,

https://launchpad.net/bugs/365215 reported that tzdata currently puts
Jakarta into WIT (Indonesia Central Time), but it actually belongs
into WIB (Indonesia West Time).

It seems that
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=108 also gets
this wrong (perhaps it's using tzdata?)

The official website is currently down, however this url still accessible
from google cache:
http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:JBpW5TryxxAJ:www.bmg.go.id/dataDetail.bmg%3FJenis%3DTeks%26IDS%3D7452470612766189439%26IDD%3D5015031020779933765+waktu+indonesia+bagian+barat+site:*.go.id&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=id&client=firefox-a

but the real url is:
http://www.bmg.go.id/dataDetail.bmg?Jenis=Teks&IDS=7452470612766189439&IDD=5015031020779933765

The document states that GMT +7 (jakarta time) is Waktu Indonesia Barat
(WIB), GMT +8 is Waktu Indonesia Tengah (WITA), and GMT +9 is Waktu
Indonesia Timur (WIT).

Thank you!

Martin
