Based on habitat, Milky stork is more likely. Yellow-billed seems more to the African side of the world.

True, although it looks (from the similar images on the web when I added Kuala Lumpur) like they may be in a zoo or similar bird collection. I tried "yellow billed stork vs. milky stork" and there's something about one having shades of pink, but I forget which. Never seen either myself, even in a zoo.
