Some sort of orb weaver. Looks like it's eating a cicada or beetle. It's pretty huge, the abdomen was about an inch or so. Found in Cameron Highlands, Malaysia.
@SteotodaNobilis A cross orbweaver??? In Malaysia??? Er... No. They don't live there and they don't get that huge either.
I've no clue about the spiders of Malaysia, though.
Looked around and stumbled upon a spider that really, really, really looks like this one I saw called Nephilengys malabarensis
Only problem is the wikipedia page says:
"Females reach a body length of about 15 millimetres (0.59 in)"
"N. malabarensis is being preyed upon by the spider-eating jumping spider Portia."
