Looks like a Milky Stork to me. There's a big flock located near the Mandai zoo, you can see them coming in to feed around 4 pm everyday.

Hi Garion,

Thanks for the info. Yes, I guess it is the Milky Stork.

Not anymore. These Storks also suffered the same fate as the human workers in the zoo. The recent cost cutting measures by the Zoo management not only retrenched old staff but also cut away the storks feeding at 4.00pm. Looks like they decided to save the money by not providing fishes for these free ranging storks.
