Lol it's a Little Egret the main distinguishing feature being that Snowy Egret has never been recorded in Malaysia.

I think davewalters is right it probably is a little Egret. Hard to tell from your pics.
I just thought it looked alot like the Snowy Egret. We have alot around here.

The Snowy Egret has bright yellow lores and iris. In contrast, the Little Egret has gray lores and a paler iris.
And if davewalters is right and they have not seen one in your area before then it must be a little Egret. lol


Again great pics :)

If it's in Malaysia, probably not a snowy! I love these sites! As a biologist, it is very interesting to see "cognate species" - very similar species from different parts of the world. For example, the great blue heron (North America), gray heron (Europe), Purple Heron (SE Asia).

BTW, nice captures!
