I have checked the regional settings in the control panel to set the
"daylight savings time". However, the checkbox is only enabled when I select
timezone within GMT-3.30 and GMT+3.30. Anything outside that, the checkbox
would be disable.

I tested System.currentTimeMillis() with timezone GMT+3.30 ("Daylight
Savings Time" checked), it gives me the correct time. However, with GMT+8
("Daylight Savings Time" disabled), it gives me GMT+1 which is 7 hours
behind the local time.

Is this what you referred as misconfiguration of local hardware that the
"Daylight Savings Time" checkbox is disabled for timezone outside GMT-3.3
and GMT+3.3, or is it norm?

Any ideas?
