Looks like U. aurea to me, but there are a number of aquatic Utrics with similar looking yellow flowers.

Just saw this thread. This is U. aurea.

According to Andreas Fleischmann:
U. aurea is the only species that has these kind of spreading calyx lobes in fruit: both lobes are almonst bent horizontal from the capsule.

The fruits of U. aurea from Langkawi. Identical to your plant.
