A review on a post on Legal from My E-Commerce blog

As about the legal issue from My E-Commerce blog, one of the post titled as "New rules for cyber cafe soon", in here I have some comment about the government try to set up some rules to those cyber cafes in Malaysia.

One of the guideline is cyber cafe have to closed by midnight daily. In fact, I don't think is affected as what i seen in my area here, Bandar Sungai Long, all the cyber cafe are opened 24 hours, even after 12am still got a lot of teenagers stay inside there. Even the police car passed by the cyber cafe, they seldom to ask the owner of cafe close down the operation.

Another guideline is a book log to record the detail about the patrons. As the owner of cafe, they feel that it is unnecessary to do so, it wasted the time to do record on every people who come into the cafe. Besides that, some patrons will fill up their details but not correct one, may be they give false name, false identification card number when do recording.

So, even the new guidelines have been announced to those owners of cyber cafe, but majority of owner would not follow it. Such as some cafe still continue their operation after midnight as they want to earn more money and survive in the business. Government should give punishment to those owner who doesn't follow the new guidelines, like giving compound to the owners, may be the government can terminated the license of the cyber cafe to operate in future.
