Back home, Penang has prohibited all forms of STRAs in private residential properties, while Sabah is mulling something similar. Yap Zer Ken, co-founder of Plush Services, a company that manages Airbnb and similar short term rental spaces, and Sheldon Fernandez PropertyGuru's country manager for Malaysia, share their views on this subject.
