He came back with bording pass for Batam fast ferry but departure was Harbour Bay!!!
The Batam Center terminal departure was full obviously.
Friends were tired and didn't wanted to kick up a commotion. They grab their documents back and hurried to Harbour Bay.The tickets for the return to Sg weren't return to them.
What's disturbing was when we reach Harbour Bay, the Batam fast Ferry counter was still selling tickets for the last ferry!!
They were scammed obviously.

I find the locals there are not trustworthy.. tio scam also. First incident wanted to leave batam centre ferry terminal for Tua Pek Gong Temple. Paid $65k for the taxi at ferry terminal. Hop on taxi, taxi driver still ask got angbao. I say no. End, he alight me Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Monastery saying Tua Pek Gong nearby and got road block. Got feeling of tio scam, since being tourist there alone better avoid argument.
2nd incident order 2 pcs meal at batam centre ferry terminal KFC. Noticed the signboard indicate price for two piece is 37k+. But cashier counter say 60k. Didnt probe due to long queue behind me and their language barrier.
But the chinese there are friendly. I went on 初一
