I bet the National Assembly wants to give us some good laugh. I'm wondering how many Congressmen/women even actually know the history of Daylight saving time.

AS 돌아온백수 nim states, DST could make people spend more time outside of work places which one could use for more leisure time or so on.

People tend to think there is "firm" scientific authority behind it, but it has NOTHING to do with science, and everything to do with clocks.

Then what is it?

Well. it has a lot to do with emotion. There are still people believe the semiannual ritual rekindles a primal connection bewteen the sun and life (believe it or not...) So, it's funny. Let's laugh! :-)
