    Yes, it is Jamides celeno.

    The celeno subgroup is recognised by the unbroken straight FW postdiscal band.
    J. malaccanus have the three main HW bands complete. In J. celeno & pura they are incomplete.

    J. celeno is relatively very common.
    The male upperside is very pale whitish blue with a black border of the FW outer margin (termen).
    The upperside HW margin is also darker as can be seen here.

    J. pura is a brighter blue to the margin (ie without a black border), a definitive ID.
    Recorded in the past, its existence now in Singapore remains unproven.

    Here is the one to look out for in Singapore.

    Jamides pura pura . This male is from India.
    Note the upperside blue reaches right to the margins.
    The underside is practically identical with J. celeno.

    2 is Pelopidas mathias.
    There is some grey shading on the underside.
    The Conjoined Swift is deeper brown , the upperside spots very yellow, the 2 cellspots tend to be elongate.
