Why Makassar has its own time
Indonesia spans 3 time zones, so the answer depends on where in it you mean. Makassar covers Borneo (east, south), Sulawesi/Celebes, Bali, Nusa Tengarra, Timor (west) and is 1 hour ahead Jakarta, which is the zone most people mean by “the time in Indonesia”.
Makassar does not observe daylight saving, so its offset from UTC never moves. Its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead.
