Good info. When I arrived at the border in October 2002, I had to learn the hard way. I had all the documents mentioned above, and needed the ones available at the AAS. Since you can't drive your own vehicle there, you must call a taxi, which sets your back about US$50. The taxi took me to a banking machine to get Sing. currency, then to the AAS, then back to the border. The whole procedure could take from two to four hours. Before entering Sing., fill up on the Malaysian side of the causeway. Gas is much cheaper there. Also note sign at exit point from Sing.: Your fuel tank must be at least three quarters full when leaving, or else you will have to pay a stiff fine. Real sticks-in-the mud, the boys in charge of Singapore. So beware and take care.
