Which cities are on a different clock?
Indonesia does not kick off once. Jakarta, Makassar, Jayapura are listed separately because the time-zone database gives them different offsets on this date, or because readers look for those cities by name. The first line, Jakarta at 6:00am, is the one in the title. The table is the rest of the country. Using the title time in a city that the table shows later or earlier is how a correct national page still makes someone miss the whistle.
