Bunch of social wasps. Nesting in the bark of a tree. They got quite aggressive when I approached for the photo. One bit/stung me. I have a guide to the bees and wasps of Singapore but no sign of these guys in it. Tried google and flickr but also no luck. Anyone have any idea?

I would think about Polistinae/Polistes, but I'm not sure. 1st abdominal segment looks a bit strange.
(And I don't have a clue about asian species…)
