Thanks for suggestions. It indeed looks like a Libellulidae family species.
This is most definitely a dragonfly. You can tell by the placement of the eyes on the head(a damselfly looks reminiscent of a hammerhead shark) If this was in the US, I would say it is in the Libelluladae family. I am not familiar enough with the Odonata of Malaysia to make a positive ID.

Nice shot. These creatures look always intresting and theire colours are great too. I'm not sure, but it looks for me like a Blue-tailed Damselfly. Most of the people just say dragonfly.
@Greeneda, thanks. By the way I took about 20 pictures while it was sitting still as if it liked to be photographed.
It must be survived with serious accident. Its one wing look damaged.
