I suggest u take coaches.. its cheaper.. but avoid taking bus at Pudu Raya Bus terminal.. there are packed with so many people and sometimes they cheat u with the timing just so u get buy from them.. I booked once before and they told me the bus timing is at 11.30pm but it was an hour late! I was so frustrated!
I suggest u go pasar rakyat to get a bus there.. u can try

For rail travel, this page got very good info on what is being offered. http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?p=2906338
Personal reccomendation would be to take the tour coaches from Puduraya or Pasat Rakyat which are available daily at the many counters. A 24 seater coach would cost about RM40 one way.
Would discourage car hire because i ever made a trip to Malacca, Genting, KL and Penang by car, even with 3 rotating drivers, we did not have enough energy to enjoy the time there due to fatigue - though it was a good experience to drive up all the way. But I think I would rather leave the tough job to the trusty uncles driving the tour coaches so that I can have real fun when I'm at the destination.

I suggest you go to KL by a coach bus. You can book the bus ticket and board the bus at various locations in Singapore. However, I go to Novena Square, 1st floor, take the green bus FIRST COACH which leaves Singapore every 2 hours and reach Bangsar Kuala Lumpur in 5 hours. And it costs only SD30/-

Honestly take the coaches, they are cheap and they are nice. The one I took from Singapore to KL was in a nice electric recliner with comfy seats and only about twenty seats on the bus. plus it didn't really take that long. I was told by my boyfriends family who live in Singapore not to take the train because it isn't nice. We travelled in November last year, we just booked a couple days ahead and it was fine.
Just make sure that when you go through customs you let them know you are getting back on the bus, otherwise they will take off without you (it happened to us on the way home, fortunately it was only a ten dollar taxi ride home)

i would suggest if take train take the night one. it depart about 10pm at night and reach Singapore early in the morning. its about 8 to 10 hour ride. you can over night at the train.
or
take a VIP couch cost about USD 20+ from kuala lumpur which take you about 5 hour ride (much faster and comfortable) . 2 to 3 buses daily to singapore.
