Both Singapore and Malaysia were devastated during World War II, but they have made remarkable recoveries to become the most prosperous nations in the world. Today, they attract tourists from all over the globe with their diverse cultures, luxurious lifestyle amenities, and abundant natural beauty.
For this 5-day, 4-night Singapore Malaysia itinerary, Klook suggests spending the first 2 days in Singapore and then heading north to Malaysia for the remaining 3 days.

However, to save time to the maximum extent, we will choose to travel by air for all segments of the journey.

Travel Experience in Singapore Malaysia 5 Days 4 Nights on Your Own
- Before embarking on the 5-day 4-night Singapore Malaysia trip, it's advisable to pre-order a 4G SIM card or rent a Wifi device for your group. This 4G SIM card can be used in 3 countries: Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, making it very convenient. Alternatively, the Wifi device can be used in most Asian countries.
- Book your flight tickets and accommodation at least 2 months in advance to get reasonable prices, especially during peak seasons. It's also advisable to pre-book tickets for attractions and transportation to have a smoother itinerary.
- If not opting for flights between Singapore and Malaysia, you can take a shared shuttle from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur or vice versa across the border with a guide. Each journey takes about 5 hours, and you need to board the shuttle at 6:30 AM from Singapore.
- Exchange your Vietnamese currency into Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar before departure for immediate use when needed. For Singapore Dollars (SGD), only exchange what you need as most services here accept Visa or MasterCard. If exchanging money in Singapore, consider places like Chinatown or Little India.
- Malaysia relies more on cash transactions, and credit card payments are only widely accepted at some services in major cities, so be prepared with cash. It's best not to exchange currency at international airports unless in emergencies as the exchange rates are often unfavorable.
