One of Malaysia’s top tourist draws, Penang Island, has slapped a partial ban on Airbnb Inc. and similar short-term rental services, following complaints of tourists behaving badly.


“Housing premises, be it in the form of landed properties (housing estates) or strata (high rise) properties, are not allowed to operate as short-term rental accommodation,” Penang Island Mayor Rajendran Antony said in a statement issued on May 30.
