Not a Chimney Swift, no - that's a North and South American species. Google isn't very good at bird IDs and doesn't take location into account.
This is a +Yellow-vented Bulbul+
You're welcome! Yes, as adults they're really lovely birds! I bet if you look around (and learn the songs at the bot's link) you'll notice them everywhere, it looks like they're pretty abundant in Singapore!
A combination of being into birds my entire life and a love of learning about new birds, a love of travel, but especially in the case of this species, I've been on this sub for 12 years now and have seen a bunch of the adults posted from this location! So I recognized the facial pattern and quickly checked Macaulay for photos of juveniles to make sure they looked like this also.

How do you know (apparently) everything? Face-on photo of a fledgling from another country...
