Does anyone have information on whether Samoa did or did not actually observe DST in 2009? Thanks for any light you can shed.

The Samoan DST act reads (in part): "A daylight saving period declared under subsection (1)(c) shall start and end at a specified time that is between midnight on a Saturday and 6 a.m. on a Sunday." Does anyone have information on the hours when Samoa plans to turns its clocks forward and back?
