Is your return flight ex KL? The reason I ask is that it might be easier and cheaper to go straight from KL to Singapore using Air Asia ( they fly KL to Johor Bharu and then take you by bus to Singapore, and it's dirt cheap! ). You 'can' get various buses from Melaka to SIN but if you have a couple of 'empty' days in your plan have you thought about having some beach time? Again Air Asia offer real cheap flights just 50 minutes KL to Langkawi for example so you can get some 'tropical island' into the trip.
If you use Air Asia you can use their bus between KLIA and downtowns for RM10 ( about $2.50 ) otherwise the train is (I think ) about RM25 o/way.

I forget the person's name but there is a regular on the board who I belive 'lives' in Melaka who can give you all the info, but it's just early evening here in Asia so I should hold on a while for the rest of the 'Asian legation' to join the forum.

Check under the post 'relaxing Stay in Malaysia' and check what Jenner has to say, Jenner lives there.

In that case
Mmelaka / Malacca sounds a good option, I am sure Jenner will update for you but I would give it a day or so for more responses and I know others are the experts for that area.
