ONE of the most talked about tourist draws in Kampung Baru Sungai Pelek in Sepang is the ferry service that takes motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians across Sungai Sepang to Bukit Pelanduk in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan.

What would have been a 48 minute drive by road, is reduced to a mere three minutes using the river route.
