Since I received many emails on this, I might as well blog it.
All registration, rescheduling and payment are done online via http://www.mba.com/. Register yourself if you have not done so. Make sure your information is correct as whatever info you provided will be reflected in your GMAT official score report (yes, you can still change the info even on that test day).

Those from other states/regions, you will have to fly in/drive/take bus/taxi or cycle to either centre.
The fee per test is US$250. Every rescheduling costs US$50, if done 7 days before the test date; else, another US$250.
Good thing about Malaysian test centres, there are not many takers in a day. On average, there are only 200 test takers in Malaysia in any year compared to 2000+ and only 1 centre in Singapore. You could have the whole room to yourself.
Good luck!

A Learning Experience
It has been awhile since I blogged on GMAT. Since my last posting, I have received 5 enquiries about GMAT and how the beginners should start preparing for this "ultimate" test. 2 of these enquiries came from my colleagues. My company provides "internal" scholarship to potential leaders to further their education particularly on Master of Business Administration (MBA). I am one of these leaders intending to pursue my MBA next year (2009).
In my Jan 26 posting, I wrote about the resources that GMAT aspirants should have. The faster you get yourself started, the better. Don't waste time if you know what you want - your aim is MBA. GMAT is one of those "things" you must have to get you there.
GMAT Malaysia started by 5 young chaps. We got together one evening and spoke about how we can get together each Saturday and help each other out in our preparation. I am still making myself available every Saturday at our GMAT hangout in Starbucks HBSC Uptown to meet with anyone who interested to know more and study together.
I hold on strongly to this philosophy in whatever I do - "You learnt best when you make someone understand what you learnt" - be it at work, at my curricular activities, or at study. If the other person cannot understand what you are saying or teaching, it means you have not understand it yourself. I find this a powerful concept. I was a tutor during my final undergraduate year and my students came to me and thanked me for making accounting easier to understand. At work, I spent time explaining concepts - finance and technology - to my colleagues and bosses.
As a reward, my teaching strengthens my own learning. When I teach, I am reinforcing my own learning. The questions that my "students" asked help me think on "my feet" and some of my colleagues used to say "you can hear his brain working" *blushed*
