It could be but there is no way to tell except to see the upperside FW which is bright blue with the border a thread.

It is considered common in Singapore so it is more likely to be this than other member of the alea subgroup.
TL Seow: Cheers.
I remembered seeing the bright blue colour on the upperside of the FW when it took off, hence it is likely to be Arhopala Sublustris then.
Many thanks.
I think this is likely normani- the shape of spot 6 and the extent of overlap with the cell end streak are quite different from sublustris
It may well be but there is too much uncertainties at the moment.
I did ID'ed one of Lemon's shot based on that but I am not too confident.

I agree - Arhopala sublustris is too variable. I would advise against making any firm judgements without at least having a shot of the upperside.
