Taman Negar National Park, Pahang State, 
Any help with identifying this spider would be very welcome.
I believe this is Heteropoda lunula
Thanks for this suggestion. It does seem like a Heteropoda sp., but H. lunula is called the purple huntsman spider, on the basis of its colour, and this one is clearly not purple. Perhaps it’s a different Heteropoda sp. ?
possibly
This is likely Heteropoda boiei.
Matches well to the diagram for a female H. boiei from Malaysia on page 304 figure 399 in “Jäger, 2008”.
