Only Malaysian and Thai registered vehicles can enter Singapore without making pre-arrangements. Cambodian cars would need a carnet and you would also need to pre-arrange Singaporean insurance. You can't buy insurance at the border it must be pre-arranged. Malaysia on the other hand does sell insurance at the border. Also required for Singapore is a toll card and unit necessary to pay road tolls. I understand cars older than 10 years can't enter Singapore and that there is a daily fee charged for your car to be allowed to use Singaporean roads. I understand it is S$35 a day but check the Singaporean customs website for the latest info.
Malaysia has for a long time been talking about introducing a RFID chip for all foreign car registrations crossing its border with Thailand. The requirement is already in place at the Singaporean border so you would need to get this chip before re-entering Malaysia from Singapore if you managed to cross the border with your car. I believe the chip requirement for cars entering from Thailand has been delayed a few times but i dont know if its already in force. Even if it isnt, it looks imminent.
My advice would be to check the RFID chip requirement for Malaysia and if you can enter, only go as far as Johor Bahru as getting an expensive carnet just for tiny Singapore isn't worth it.
Another headache could be re-entry into Thailand from Malaysia. Although the officials there are lax and unlikely to bother someone driving a Cambodian car, officially the new rules on transiting Thailand with a foreign vehicle requiring advance notice and a guide applies to Cambodian cars brought in from non-Cambodian neighboring countries. However, chances are they won't be enforced, at least not for the time being.
