When crossing borders, it goes without saying that you should properly obtain an arrival card. If you properly obtain one when entering and leaving Singapore, and when entering and leaving Malaysia, you can get away with just scanning your passport, so make sure you do this. There are many fake websites that charge exorbitant fees, so please use the official website. If possible, it's convenient to communicate with your driver via WhatsApp to confirm the meeting place.
