Lebanon's government decided at the last minute to postpone the start of daylight saving time.  

Now the country has two time zones at the same time. 

- I had a meeting at 8 am and a lesson at 9 am, but now it will take place at the same time, says organization worker Haruka Naito.  

Right now, Lebanon has two time zones, reports ABC News.  

At the last second, the country's government decided to postpone the start of daylight saving time by a month, until the end of Ramadan. 

Something that resulted in mass confusion.  

Some institutions in the country, mainly Christian, have implemented daylight saving time, while others have not set the clock forward.  

This has resulted in the country now being in two time zones. 

- I had a meeting at 8 am and a lesson at 9 am, but now it will take place at the same time, says organization worker Haruka Naito, to the newspaper. 

The confusion has also led to jokes about "Muslim times" and "Christian times".
