I had reviewed a post from My E-Commerce blog recently. From the blog, I found that Malaysian Government are trying set up new rules for those cybers cafe with a fixed business hours.
In the effort to implement these new rules to them, the government have to provides some new guidelines to be enforced soon to the company which operates cyber or internet cafe. There are a few guideline to do so which consists of :
1.Have to close by midnight daily.
2.Banned from using tinted glasses in their premises. (the interior must be able to see through from the outside)
3.Only allowed to operate from the ground floor.
4.Those under 12 years old must be accompanied by parents or guardian and only allowed to stay up to 10.00pm.
5.Prohibited from providing gaming activities, gambling, pornography, music and publications

The government implement these strategies are to prevent the cyber cafe turning into social ills which will affect the peoples behaviour and the safety of society. As my concern, many of the students or children will go to these cyber cafe to play games. Unfortunately, some of cafes just wanted to earn a positive income and just provides packages for the students. In the end, those student will not carry up their education as well and just keep staying at cyber cafe.
Without a fixed business hours, I wonder that how cyber cafe can be survive. In Malaysia, most of the cafes are operates at night or even till 24 hours. Eventhought is on 1
am, yet the cyber cafes are still full of peoples. Many of them wants to play online games or through LAN games. I guess if the government strongly practise them to operates on the time selected. Most of the cyber cafe will colapse or closed. But indirectly, some of them may still can be operates well because they may operates in the underground or given "protection" by the police.
