Committee's view
Background
No descriptions in SINAV 14:1. Original report has been digitised. Lim (2009) states the first date as 26 November 1999 and rejects the earlier record by the discoverer Subaraj Rajathurai (listed in OBC 31, 32) of what must have been the same individual. Wang & Hails (2007) accepts the 28 October 1999 record, describing it as "An adult claimed at Changi from 28 Oct. (OBC Bull. 31), confirmed on 26 Nov. 1999 and seen again on 1 - 3 Jan.2000".
Verdict Accepted / Wild (Verifiable)
