first sorry if the spelling is wrong.
if i want to get from singapore to the airport in malaysia across the border(much cheaper fares to penang)will an ordinary taxi take me across the border to the airport?

Apparently, there are places in Singapore that have taxi ranks for Malaysian taxis that can go across the border, i.e. from Sing to Malay. According to the local I just asked, it is not the same for Singapore taxis.

A lot of people go by bus from Sing to Malay and I have looked at taking a coach from central Singapore to KL and the highest price I have seen (First Class coach 1 seat either side of the bus) was S$58 which is about GBP20. VIP coaches and economy coaches are obviously a lot cheaper.

Found this...

Getting around the country poses little difficulty. There are various modes of travel - air, rail, or road. Each mode is efficient, convenient, and affordable.
More Malaysians are now utilizing the North-South Expressway, which stretches from Johor Bahru at the southern tip of the peninsular all the way up to the Thai border in the North.
This may not be the Orient Express of old, but KTM or the Malaysian Railway provides a charm and romance of its own to anyone who chooses to travel this way. KTM has a number of travel plans for both domestic and foreign tourists. It would be a good idea to check with the railway authorities on what these travel plans are and how you can get the best out of them. The railway runs all the way into Singapore in the south and to Padang Besar in the north, at the Thai-Malaysian border. There is also an eastern link that takes you to the East Coast states of the Peninsula. For train ticket booking, please logon to http://www.ktmb.com.my/utama.htm
The national airline, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) provides an excellent domestic link to all the major towns and cities in the country. Kuala Lumpur is the hub, from which you could head off to Penang, Langkawi, Alor Setar, Ipoh, Kota Baru, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan, and Johor Bahru. These are the major towns in the Peninsula. The two eastern capitals of Kuching (Sarawak) and Kota Kinabalu (Sabah) are also served on a daily basis by MAS. Other flights would take you to Labuan, Tawau, and Sandakan.
Taxi service is another good way to travel overland in the country. Usually there are taxi stands that take you to your destinations like Melaka, Johor Bahru or even to Penang. You could in fact get a taxi ride to any part of the country. But remember that the law allows for four passengers and that you only pay your share of the ride. Hence, there is no need to hire the whole taxi.
There are regular bus services to almost every part of the country. You could easily take an express bus into Singapore or Thailand. These buses are usually air-conditioned and run on express service. Regular routes are plied and they stay very much on schedule. They are efficient and quite convenient.

Use the train from Singapore which will stop at KL Central station. From here you can buy a ticket and hop on the fast train(KLIA Express) to the airport.

Check KL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

You want to cross the border to get to Johor Baru airport?

Yes there are cabs that will take you there.

Else take the bus, they stop at the border.

Aint sure where you take the bus. Will ask my friends in JB.

If you are talking bout crossing the border all the way Kuala Lumpur, you can take the train, but it's a long ride.

Take the bus, lots of bus. Comfortable bus like https://www.aeroline.com.sg/ is fast and comfortable.

Cabs to Kuala Lumpur will cost you a bomb!!

Cheers.

Massage Parlours in Johor Baru were shut down by police yesterday. Seems they are cracking down hard on operators. A lot of the girls are looking to move to Singapore work permit permitting. My friend is from JB and she says it is Muslim culture related.

I've only been here 2 months, but so far I haven't found much outside Geylang apart from Orchard Towers and both are expensive. Best experience yet was the Malaysian lass who arrived 30 minutes after I called an agency. That cost me $300 for 2 hours and the ad stated that the girl would "come in stockings" - and she did !!
