  | The "asia" file has three Indonesian time zones with 7-, 8-, and 9-hour
  | differences from UCT.
  | Jakarta is in the westernmost of the three, 7 hours different from UCT.

For what it is worth (which is not much) the local (S-E Asia) satellite TV
channels use WIT when they're referring to UTC +07:00 (Jakarta, etc).

Most use Hong Kong or Singapore as their primary reference time for
programme information (they're the same, so it makes no difference
which they've picked) but sometimes also give broadcast times for
India and WIT/Thailand as well, just in case people can't subtract...
