Hello, Mr. Nasser: if you wish to travel by train between Malaysia and Singapore, or vice versa, you may consult the official website of the Malaysian RailRoad System. It may be viewed at: www.ktmb.com.my The website displays departure and arrival times as well as passenger fares. Good travels; happy train riding!

You could take premium express buses from KL to Singapore as well. The journey takes around 5 hours and the buses are extremely comfortable. The train on the other hand takes 7-8 hours but there's an overnighter you could take which saves you a night's stay. Try www.aeroline.com.my for bus service.

Forgot to mention fares. Bus fare per pax for express bus journeys is approx RM70, which works out to USD$18 or so.

Can't recall train fares off the top of my head.

IMHO, best way to get to S'pore is by bus. I would not recommend travelling by train becos of the longer travel time and bad experience with KTMB. This was on a 1st class ticket - poor service, clogged toilets, noisy neighbours.
