On SG side, only have to clear immigration so bring your passport is good enough.

On JB side, bring all your belongings coz you've to clear immigration and then customs, before catching your coach for the onward journey. Check that immigration stamps your passport for arrival into Malaysia.

Coming back...

Only your passport to clear immigration on JB side. Check that they stamp your passport for departure from Malaysia.

On SG side, bring everything down to clear immigration and then customs, before boarding your coach again for it to take you back to your actual drop-off point.

Take note of the coach number before you alight, so that you won't board the wrong bus (same coach company may have different coaches going to different parts of Malaysia).

RC Hotel is excellent bro! Get a room with a Melaka River view.
Anyway this will be my 2nd time staying in here next week

Here's a few photos from my stay last year..

may I know if you drove or took coach bus? RC Hotel comes with secured parking lots?

 

[Bak_Chor_Mee]

i took a coach. And RC Hotel does not have a parking lot. It is located just beside the Melaka River, 10 min walk to Bunga Raya and Jonker St.

You can always walk a bit more to a spot where you find more comfortable to cross over?

Which small busy road? You only have to cross Jln Parameswara. To get to Dataran Pahlawan, you can walk a along Jln Parameswara (which is almost a car park) little bit in the direction of A'Formosa. There is a school crossing you can use to get to the rear entrance of the shopping mall. https://www.google.com.sg/maps/@2.1...ZN9r2ROtIB7ir1882w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

Dataran Pahlawan is such a huge mall that it's accessible even if you've to walk a bit further. No scary crossing, as far as I can remember.

No worries! Worst scenario, just walk down the road until A Famosa area before crossing.

I sometimes stroll in that area, where you only need to watch out for "sleepy drivers" like those we also have here.
