SHORTER FERRY RIDE TO PANGKOR

 If we board the ferry from the Marina Island Jetty, it will take less than 15 minutes to reach Pangkor Island.  The journey is very much faster than that from the Lumut Jetty.
Here Lai Yoong is pictured at the ticketing counter of the Marina Island Complex.
 In order to be able to travel from the Marina Island Jetty, one needs to be a member.  Membership for an individual is RM5.00 for a year while the family card costs RM10.00.  You can check out the rates above.
 Kamariah registered as a member and so Lai Yoong and I got to travel on the Jetty.  We paid RM10.00 each for a round trip.
