GEORGE TOWN: All water scooter and parasailing activities in Penang have been banned with immediate effect.
The clampdown came about following a spate of accidents where a number of tourists were injured during such activities along the Batu Ferringhi-Tanjung Bungah tourism belt.
In announcing the ban Tuesday, the Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) told all water sports operators to abide by the directive at once.
