Oh my! If I owned a cyber cafe I might faint on the spot upon knowning the "New Rules" which will be enforced by government soon.....
Let me state the "New Rules" once again
- 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 patron
So what is in your mind now?
Cool rules?!
Great!
or......??
Well some of the rules are actually good such as those under 12 years old must accompanied by guardian. If the cyber cafe were to comply to such rules, it would surely benefits the society and make cyber cafe a better place to hang out.
This definately is a good start to nurture our future generation to be healthy in both physically and mentally. The reputation of cyber cafe will be changed. It no longer will be the place where teachers, parents and society have negetive impression on. It would be a place to share information, makes friends, learning new technology and so on.
But in the real case, many cyber cafe has failed to comply with the current law which are been considered loose. For example, although our government has restricted students who wearing school uniform to enter into cyber cafe but there are still alot of cyber cafe which "open the door" for the people who wearing school uniform. So I was wondering that will the cyber cafe comply with the new rules that are going to be enforced in future? If so, how are they going to make business out of it?
Perhaps the only way is creativity and innovation. The cyber cafe could provide more services such as reading corner and cafeteria to cater the needs to the customers. _________________________________________________________________________________________
