I have just answered 1 question-How much time does it take from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur by train?Please take a look at the Yahoo/Answer-Singapore!
Singapore-Kuala Lumpur takes 6 hours on one of two modern daytime trains or 8 hours on a time-effective overnight sleeper train.Please check website for train schedule.
Singapore – Kuala Lumpur :
2nd class seat About RM 34 (About $10.00)
1st class seat About RM 68 (About $21.00)
2nd class sleeper About RM 43 (About $11.00)
1st class sleeper About RM 86 (About $20.00)
Deluxe sleeper,shower & WC About RM 131 (About $38.00) sharing,About RM 180 (About $54.00) sole occupancy.
When checking fares (or booking online) at www.ktmb.com.my,classes & class codes are as follows:
AFC = 1st class seats (also known as "Premier")
ASC = 2nd class seats (also known as "Superior")
AEC = 3rd class seats (also known as "Economy")

Do I need a reservation..?
Yes,you do.All long-distance trains in Malaysia are 'reservation compulsory',so you will need a seat or berth reservation for each train you take.Reservations open 60 days before departure.

I think about 30 SGD. You can take a bus by grassland tours or Five stars tours. Here's the website with everything you need.

By coach definitely. Go down to Golden Mile Complex to get your tickets, they have a dozen bus operators there. You can see pictures of their coaches before booking. Those priced between $30 to $40 has newer buses and provide smoother rides. Better to book in advance as seats are not unlimited, especially so for popular timeslots like Fri nights. The train ride takes twice as long and is uncomfortable too as the trains are really old.
