+# From Steffen Thorsen (2009-08-27):
+# Samoa's parliament passed the Daylight Saving Bill 2009, and will start
+# daylight saving time on the first Sunday of October 2009 and end on the
+# last Sunday of March 2010. We hope that the full text will be published
+# soon, but we believe that the bill is only valid for 2009-2010. Samoa's
+# Daylight Saving Act 2009 will be enforced as soon as the Head of State
+# executes a proclamation publicizing this Act.
+#
+# Some background information here, which will be updated once we have
+# more details:

+# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2009-10-03):
+# First, my deepest condolences to people of Samoa islands and all families and
+# loved ones around the world who lost their lives in the earthquake and tsunami.
+#
+# Considering the recent devastation on Samoa by earthquake and tsunami and that
+# many government offices/ ministers are closed- not sure if "Daylight Saving
+# Bill 2009" will be implemented in next few days- on October 4, 2009.
+#
+# Here is reply from Consulate-General of Samoa in New Zealand

+# Talofa Alexander,
+#
+# Thank you for your sympathy for our country but at this time we have not
+# been informed about the Daylight Savings Time Change. Most Ministries in
+# Apia are closed or relocating due to weather concerns.
+#
+# When we do find out if they are still proceeding with the time change we
+# will advise you soonest.
+#
+# Kind Regards,
+# Lana

+
+# From Steffen Thorsen (2009-10-05):
+# We have called a hotel in Samoa and asked about local time there - they
+# are still on standard time.
