    Hi,
    There are records of Great Myna in Singapore (see e.g eBird 2003 and 2005). It is however not included in your checklist. It is howevr not included in you checklist – not as Introduced or vagrant. I would appreciate you comment on how see its status.

      Great Myna is resident in Indochina. For introduced birds, only those with a self-sustaining population are included in the checklist. Great Myna does not fall into that category.
