Hi,
One of my friends told me that this is a slug moth (Family: Limacodidae). This is correct and able to ID to its species? Thanks!

yes, this is a limacodid moth.
Unfortunately it is not possible to determine which species (or even genus) this is as there are a lot of similar species from the Malay peninsula / Singapore and the book on this group has only small illustrations that don't help much. Genitalia dissection required :(
cheers, Roger.
