In the secondary school, I always go to cyber café and have a fun at there. Playing online games, LAN games, chatting are the activities that most people do in the cyber café. However, recently Malaysian government announced that there will be some new guidelines to be enforced soon on Internet and cyber cafes in order to control these businesses.
In the beginning, appearance of the cyber cafes in the market is good news for those people who are unable to afford the computer. Those people or families who are come from poor financial background have a chance to learn more knowledge and surf the internet websites. But the businessmen abuse this kind of cyber cafes to attract those young people spend their time and money in the cyber cafes for the provided gaming activities, gambling, pornography, music and publications with negative element. Some young man will spend their whole day in the cyber cafes and do not attend the school lesson. Moreover, they will also stay at the cyber cafes until midnight and neglect their homework. This may make some parents worry about their children.
A Cyber cafe is a tool to help people to bring their steps forward and upgrade themselves, but if cyber cafes are abuse, it will also bring the negative effect.
