"ICT" isn't one of the timezones that Date::Manip knows about (see "man 
Date::Manip" and search for TIMEZONES)

Try creating a file /etc/timezone containing the offset of your timezone 
from UTC, e.g.:

# echo '+0700' > /etc/timezone

Try this out as follows, and see if it's any better:

# logwatch --range yesterday

You might also want to contact the author of Date::Manip, Sullivan Beck 
(sbeck at cpan dot org) and suggest adding ICT to the list of known 
timezones in Date::Manip.
