?? It isn't. the display of date and time are controlled by a file called
/etc/localtime
which is a copy of a tz database timezone file. It tells the ssytem exactly
when and for what dates that location used what time (as related to UTC)
Your system itself uses UTC in all its clocks. the localtime file controls
the display, not what goes on inside.
If you want a different timezone, copy in a different file
(/usr/share/zoninfo) into /etc/localtime.

Your system will immediately display the new timezone.
There is no "daylight saving flag"

Note that this will display the correct official time for your locality
even for dates in the past (eg your location may have decided to use
Zambian time for two months in 1922. The timezone file will contain that
and when you ask for a time during those two months you will get the
correct local time.)
