ChangeTimezone

cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/

cp /etc/localtime /etc/localtime-ori

cp Kuala_Lumpur /etc/localtime

Set time and date

date MMDDhhmmYYYY

Example:
date 043017212008

(that is the time of my posting)

MM - Two digit month number
DD - Two digit date
hh - Two digit 24 hour system hour
mm - Two digit minute
YYYY - Four digit year code

If conmmand above doesn't work, do the following

cd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia

ln -sf Kuala_Lumpur /etc/localtime

Sync your time

ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Confirm your date

date

If ntp is not install, you may run this to install ntp

yum install ntp
