I have a brand new Dell Precision Tower 5000 Series (5810) that just came with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed. Instead of upgrading to 16.04, I made a fresh installation (no dual boots).
I was not able to boot from USB, but luckily I had a DVD with 16.04. Installation using the DVD went with no problem.
During the installation, I was able to select Singapore as my location. However, once I opened Ubuntu for the first time, I noticed the following:
It is showing a totally incorrect time, around 7h ahead.
It claims it is Jakarta time (which is not) when I explicitly selected Singapore during the installation.
It shows weekday and month in Indonesian, even when everything is set to English.
It does not find anymore "Singapore" in the Time & Date settings, even when I was able to select it during installation.
Please check the images attached, at the time of writing this it's 9:20AM, not 4:20PM.
Many thanks!

my guess is BIOS time is set to local - where it should be set to UST which is the same everywhere in the world. my guess is BIOS time is probably "7hr ahead" of universal.standard.time (UST ~= GMT with no daylight savings)

Apparently this is a bug since I see no choice for Singapore on any of my Ubuntu 16.04 machines. 16.04 has been out for a long time and Singapore is a major Republic. I'd be surprised if there isn't a bug report already issued on this.
As a work around I suppose you'll need to select another location that's in the same time zone as you are. Phnom Penh perhaps?

For time, go to Time & Date -> clock -> Time in auto-detected location work for me (I am in Singapore)
For weekday and month in Indonesian, go to Language Support -> Regional Format then change to English and reboot.
