Or you can walk to customs, around 15 minutes, head towards the "checkpoint". Once past customs and you have your passport stamped, you come out in a bus station, you will need a ticket to board one, but you can also follow the "walking man" sign. It leads towards the bridge that makes the border. You will may be stopped by several police officers stating that you can't walk to Malaysia. To all of them say Say that you know what you are doing, that someone will pick you up there. Don't mention you are hitchhiking, they will just keep you longer telling you it's forbidden, and there's nowhere to pull over. Just stick to the pick-up story. Walk along the narrow side of the road, one minute, to the center of the bridge where there will be a large enough space for cars to stop. Hitch from there. There's a lot of traffic and you won't wait long. Edit: there was so much traffic that walking was literally faster, I got to car check point but had to get up to bus terminal to get stamped and then inside Malaysia I hitchhiked in. Not easy to get a ride from the mall area of JB sentral... More advice is appreciated. Edit 2: I had absolutely no success trying the bridge spot, there was a lot of scooters parked there and because of that, little place for cars to stop (November 2017). IMO the best place would be the rightmost channel at the border checkpoint on the Malaysian side. You can either walk there all the way from the SG side of the border, or take a bus and find the stairs heading down to the checkpoint. There's plenty of space there to stop and cars are moving slow, eventually you will get someone to pick you up. (Mojo)

If you arrive by flight to SIN, and plan to cross the border overland, make sure you made a fake return e-ticket from SIN (to anywhere). There is a high chance that they ask you for your return itinerary at the check-in counter of the departure airport. It's a new regulation in Singapore Customs. While in some cases if you explain you go overland they may let you in, they also can be annoying. While leaving CDG to SIN with Singapore Airlines they accepted my explanations, but when I left MEL to SIN with Jetstar they just didn't accept any explanation and I had to buy a ticket I would never use departing from SIN, at last minute leaving me no choice ([[User:toortoth|toortoth]]). So make a fake, with a frame from another airline (in case they want to check in their own system, but they never do, it would be too long to check itineraries of all passengers, especially calling other companies). Cheapest ticket out of the country is most likely the Singapore-Batam ferry, can be booked online on batamfast.com for SGD15. Officially suggested by Jetstar.
