You will be both stamped out of Singapore and stamped into Malaysia at Woodlands Station before boarding your train.
The big advantage of taking the train from Singapore to Malaysia is that the immigration process at Woodlands Train Checkpoint is much quicker here than at all the other border crossings (which are well known for their congestion problems), making it the best way to travel from Singapore to Malaysia (in our opinion).
How to get to Woodlands Train Station form Singapore City Centre
To get to Woodlands Railway Station which is located in the north of Singapore island, you can either take a taxi or if you want to travel as cheap as possible, we recommend you take a combination of the MRT (which covers most of the city so there should be a station close to where you are staying), then a bus.
