Best overlap: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Portland is 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Singapore.
The sweet spot is 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM Portland time, matching 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM in Singapore. The window is short at 2 hours, so keep meetings tight and anchored to 4:00 PM in Portland (8:00 AM in Singapore). Watch the date, too: while it's still the workday in Portland, Singapore is already on the next day. Just remember Portland changes its clocks for daylight saving and Singapore doesn't, so confirm the overlap whenever the seasons turn.
