Puteri Harbour, which has an international ferry terminal, is still under utilized.

IMHO, the only star attraction there is the Sanrio Hello Kitty and Little Big Club indoor theme park.

@domng  Maybe because too mainstream and hyped up :P

I hope none of the so-called star attractions in Puteri Harbour become white elephants which is left in a decrepit condition.
