Yes, I've realised we can't trust anything that is said when it comes from the Malaysian side. (No offence but evidence shows it.)
I also read about the ferry service that was supposed to be ready in 2013. (2 years ago!) But as some wondered, who will it be servicing? So how did they set the 2013 timeline? Clearly, it's a rubbish lie, perhaps to get people excited about Puteri Harbour and buy the properties there. Just as how they lied about the RTS being near to Country Garden but for now, I doubt the RTS will even be built!
The whole area of Puter Harbour is very sparse with few shops and traffic. Can't really foresee any development in the next many years to bring in the crowd also.
I think the whole way Iskandar is being developed is sad. They have the land but likely, the planning process is terrible which caused it to decline and make investors shun it now. There are too many residential developments and shops but the human traffic and businesses are sorely missing.
