Bill structure suggests Mangrove Pitta to me.

Agree with Andy, the "bandit mask" also appears to taper towards the nape, which is another good feature of Mangrove pitta, although a bit subjective as the bird is hunched up.

Is this the Bishan-AMK Park bird?

I would say Mangrove. The size of the bill compared to the head length seems 100% right.
