Calendar event showing up the wrong timezone

Hi there, I refer to the screenshots below. The user, Pamela, sends out a calendar invite to both Jeff and Kok Guan, specifying the correct timezone UTC +0800. However, what Jeff views this event on his Mac running on Yosemite 10.10.2 is the UTC +0000 timezone, Monrovia, Reykjavik. The time indicated is displayed 6am instead of the actual 2pm, despite showing a notification that the event will commence at 2pm on Jeff's Mac. How do i go about correcting/removing the UTC +0000, Monrovia, Reykjavik, timezone stamp. Appreciate some help with this. Thanks!

Regards

Kenny

Unfortunately, the server update won't fix existing meetings automatically.  However, users MAY be able to fix it themselves if they find the original meeting invitation (could be in Deleted Items) and re-accept the meeting(s) with the "UTC" time zones.  (Let us know if that works.)

If that doesn't work, they will have to ask the organizer to re-send the invitation.  (Organizer just has to open the meeting on his/her calendar and click "Send Update." Make sure to "Edit Series" if it is a recurring meeting.)

    Some changes to time zone support are coming for Outlook 15. Not sure how soon.

    In the meantime, see if you can choose another location in the same time zone. Usually, these issues are specific to the location not the general time zone.

    Hope this helps!

    Are you saying choose a different location in the MAC outlook client or on the mobile device where the appointment is created? On the MAC client you don't have multiple locations in the same time zone, you only have the time zone itself to choose from?

    I'm referring to Outlook for Mac's default time zone setting. You'll find it in Outlook menu > Preferences > Calendar > Time zones.

    Folks who've reported issues when choosing one city in a time zone have reported better results by choosing a different city in the same time zone. Keep in mind not all cities have the same time zone rules, but generally they do.

    Hope this helps!

    Well maybe I am missing something then because in the MAC Outlook client in that section, there are no cities to choose from as is shown on the screenshot below, it is only time zones? So if I want to choose a different time zone I have that option, but that's not really helpful.
