Singapore is a country in Asia.

Hitchhiking is very rare within Singapore, mainly because it is a city and public transport is very common.

For those who are crossing borders to Malaysia, there is a Woodlands checkpoint in the North and another Tuas checkpoint in the West.

Hitching out

Take the MRT Red Line to the closest point to the bridge. From there you can find a bus that takes you towards JB. Then you can hitch out of customs, just walk up on the road. It is definitely illegal, but it is rare to be harrassed by police for standing directly on the freeway.

By boat

There is one ferry to an Indonesian island. Forget about entering the Singaporean port, I think the only way are the marinas. Get a yacht. There is one marina that lets you also enter without being member right next to Tuas checkpoint.
