There is the yellow bus service for J B from sngapore via second link where u can get visa on arrival if one has singapore visa for return.
Make sure you have malaysian money for there is no money changer at second link check post Also better to have embakation card for malaysia (available from travel agents or also at check post) filled up, and a photograph.
The bus will stop at the Singapore checkpoint. The bus will not wait for you whilst you clear immigration, so take all your belongings with you. Keep your bus ticket and hop on the next Bus which comes along. You don’t have to pay again.
The bus will stop again at the Malaysian checkpoint, which is at the other end of the Causeway linking Singapore and Malaysia. You will have to get off to clear immigration. Once more, the bus will not stop for you to clear immigration, so keep your bus ticket if you intend to catch the next bus.
I want to get a malaysian visa, work there in an environment of peace, use to come to Pakistan on leave, meet my children and travel back to malaysia for work. I request you to kindly let me know if this is possible..if your answer is yes, then kindly share with me the procedure on how to avail the opportunity.
With best regards
