Thanks again, @Ashley :)
Oops, here's the link, http://frogsoftheworld.webs.com/
At the top of this link, the two species are right next to each other. Pay attention to the warts on the back. A. longidigita has spiny warts, and A. leptopus has rounded, flatter warts.
Thanks, @Ashley.
Both looks quite similar, I can't tell the difference.
So for now, I will just put the scientific name as Ansonia sp :D
I think Ansonia leptopus over A. longidigita. They are very similar, but A. longidigita has elevated spiny warts with keratinized tips, where A. leptopus has round, flatter warts like your frog has. I can't find a distribution map for A. leptopus though, IUCN just says "This species is known from a number of localities on Borneo. It is also present at two localities in Peninsular Malaysia, and at a single site in Sumatra (Indonesia). It has been recorded from lowland altitudes of 50-700m asl."
