I did just that - BUT parked-up the bike in KL beforehand, then got a 5½ hour bus ride down the E2 Highway to the Singapore border .. and crossed over on foot.

Stayed in the Little India area for 3 nights. There’s plenty of public transport around Singapore - and we didn’t miss the bike one bit. My personal (independent) itinerary included:
  • A coach tour around the city, including a long stroll around the CBD
  • A day on Sentosa Island
  • A visit to the excellent Singapore Zoo
  • Even drank Singapore Slings at the Raffles Hotel.
Don’t by-pass Singapore is my advice. Worthy of a [brief] visit, for sure .. and it really wasn’t that expensive.

Yup - thats the way to do it. Park your bike somewhere safe in Malaysia and go there as a vehicleless tourist. Much more conveniant and much cheaper.

I think that's what we will do, to be honest it does not really interest me, 2 weeks in Singapore could be a months budget in Cambodia!

Nonsense, two weeks in Singapore will cost the same as 6 months in Cambodia!
