Jumping Spider that Looks Like a Zebra Jumping Spider

About 1000 m above sea level in a hill forest, I came across this really tiny (about 2 mm) jumping spider that looked like a Zebra Jumping Spider. (Salticus scenicus), in Pahang, Malaysia.

However, I had confirmed with a professor in this field that this salticid is NOT Salticus scenicus. I wish someone can tell me what kind this beautiful spider is.
