Review on "New Rules for Cyber Cafe Soon"
The Government will be implementing new rules for cyber cafe soon.
Among the new rules are:
- Have to close by midnight daily.
- Banned from using tinted glasses in their premises. (must be able to see through from the outside)
- Only allowed to operate from the ground floor.
- Those under 12 years old must be accompanied by parents or guardian and only allowed to stay up to 10.00pm.
- Prohibited from providing gaming activities, gambling, pornography, music and publications with negative element.
- Cigarettes and alcohol to be prohibited from being sold.
- A book log to record the entry and departure time of the patrons.
Nowadays you can see cyber cafe anywhere on the streets. Cyber cafe are growing non-stop like mushrooms. The original objectives or purposes of introducing the cyber cafe to public is to cultivate learning habits among citizens and also to expose citizens to the cyber world. Unfortunately, people had misused cyber cafe as a gaming zone, gambling zone and etc. Instead of molding citizens to be more educational, cyber cafe is now seen as an outlet that would harm youths mentally and socially.
It is no surprise that the Government is being strict and taking actions against cyber cafes now. In fact, all these should have done earlier by the cyber cafe owners. Owners of cyber cafe should have taken necessary actions against youngsters who surf sites like pornography, gaming, gambling and etc. Youngsters as young as 12 years old were seen hanging out with friends playing online games such as DoTA, making bets, smoking and drinking alcohol in cyber cafe. Such sight is an eyesore to others. The Government wouldn't have come out with such rules if all youngsters have self discipline and knows of their limits. However, we could not blame the cyber cafe goers entirely. Sometimes, it is the owner of cyber cafe that are in thirst for money. Some owners allow such activities to happen to attract youngsters and make profit out of them. Sigh.. if only these youngsters knew this! Sadly, these youngsters are more willing to pay more to satisfy their addicts towards games, pornography and so on. I strongly agree with the Government's actions and sad to say, for the cyber cafe businessmen, they might suffer some losses. Well, what goes around comes around. Some people just prefer to learn the "hard" way.
*Ahem* See what I mean?

Haha, Government should have make restriction to the cyber cafe. But if all cyber cafe closed, will be unfair for the ppl who can't online to surf net , mayb to search infor for their work. But mostly ppl go for gaming, if restrict gaming, no one going to open CC. TIME RESTRICTION is agreed.
Will all cyber cafe operate stick to those new rules???is it really work is still an unknown case...
I went to cyber cafe at late night when i was in urgent to get something via internet....wow...u will see teenagers are getting more n more "stick" to cc especially during late night!
Many parents are cracking head because their teenage children like to go to cyber cafe rather than staying at home.....
That is why I love the government's idea of coming up with these rules!
