Chalcorana labialis
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Chalcorana labialis, also known as the white-lipped frog, is a species of "true frog" in the family Ranidae. As currently known, it is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, although it might also occur in Singapore. Molecular data suggest presence of three distinct lineages in the same area, one of which is not closely related to Chalcorana labialis and which could represent an unnamed species.
Adult males measure 37–48 mm (1.5–1.9 in) and adult females 44–71 mm (1.7–2.8 in) in snout–vent length. The tympanum is distinct. The fingers have well-developed discs but no webbing. The toe discs are somewhat smaller; the toes have extensive webbing. The dorsum varies from dark green to pale yellow, with or without brown spots on the back. The upper lip is creamy yellow or white. The ventral surfaces are cream-coloured. The hind limbs may have dark cross-bars.
Chalcorana labialis occurs on vegetation by forest streams and swamps. It is common. As of April 2019, this species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-lipped Frog sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 55 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 17 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-lipped Frog in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against about 10% in February to June, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate White-lipped Frog sightings, Kuala Lumpur has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Singapore (Singapore, about 10%).
Same family: Ranidae
The closest relatives of the White-lipped Frog that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (family Ranidae, Typical Frogs) are Green Paddy Frog (about 10%), Rough-sided frog (about 10%) and American Bullfrog (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-lipped Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Kuala Lumpur (55 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
