Chicago is 13 hours behind Kuala Lumpur

There is no standard 8-to-6 overlap. Someone joins early or late.

Kuala Lumpur and Chicago sit on opposite ends of the clock — a 13-hour gap leaves no common business hours to work with. Lean on recorded updates, shared docs, and clear handoffs so the 13-hour gap doesn't stall progress between meetings. The difference isn't constant year-round: Chicago adjusts for daylight saving while Kuala Lumpur holds steady.
