    Probably not in Singapore.

    But I've encountered it in Langkawi before. If you feel generous (or rich) go book a night at the Datai Resort, you will have a good chance of seeing (or at least hearing) the Tokay.

    The other place that I've also seen it and took photos of one up on a high beam, was at the Allamanda Resort at Phuket.

    Tokays are rare in peninsular Malaysia.
    In urban areas its menacing & scary looks is likely to get it killed.
    The local populace also have a penchant for keeping cats.
    These agile & adept hunters are capable of taking flying swifts from rooftops.
    When a cat pounces it is usually curtains for any unwary lizard.

    However, we have a lot of Towkays.
    For those in the dark.

    Tokay
    On all fours & tailed.
    Blue-grey & with orange spots.
    Loud commanding vocal.
    Handle with care.

    Towkay
    Upright & tailless.
    May wear garish blue with polkadots.
    Loud authoritative vocal.
    Best handle with care.
