[Bug 1986803] Re: Incorrect/misleading Time Format For ms_MY (AM/PM)

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

The intention in the ms_MY locale seems to be to support the distinction
between am and pm. That's what the '%p' part is about:

$ LC_TIME=ms_MY.UTF-8 locale date_fmt
%A %d %b %Y %I:%M:%S %p %Z

However, the am_pm definition is empty:

$ LC_TIME=ms_MY.UTF-8 locale am_pm
;

and that's probably a mistake.

With that said, Ubuntu uses the locales provided by glibc, so this
request should rather be made upstream:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=glibc&component=localedata

If you submit an upstream bug report, please post the URL to it here for
tracking purposes.

Title:
  Incorrect/misleading Time Format For ms_MY (AM/PM)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Date format problem when representing time in ms_MY. 12-hour clock is
  used despite AM/PM localization string is empty.

  Expectation: 
  When running the command `date`, output was `Rabu 17 Ogos 2022 20:35:36  +08`

  What happened instead:
  When running the command `date`, output was `Rabu 17 Ogos 2022 08:35:36  +08`

  These were run during the PM side of time. When running it in the
  morning, it shows as expected.
