Zhu Li, 47, was taking photographs of the scenery at the stretch between the Lone Pine Hotel and Golden Sands Resort accompanied by five family members when a water scooter rammed into her at about 9am yesterday.

Two Myanmar nationals who were riding the machine tried to escape but were caught by beach boys and handed over to the police.

Zhu Li was sent to the Penang Hospital in an ambulance.

She is believed to have sustained serious injuries on both legs.

State Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said he ordered the Penang Municipal Council to temporarily ban watersports activities in Batu Ferringhi.

"This time, we will not tolerate any nonsense. We will ban these activities until we come up with proper rules."
