in your file core.php you must create:

> date\_default\_timezone\_set(‘asia/Kuala\_Lumpur’);

Thank you for reply. I change the `date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kuala_Lumpur')` on `App_config.php` which called / include on `bootstrap.php`

You can directly change the `timezone` under `Datasource` in app.php in CakePHP-3. I made changes in my application for “Asia/Kolkata” like `'timezone' => '+5:30'` and it is working fine.
