In my opinion, some of these new rules may be inappropriate to be applied and will cause great losses to those businesses. One of the guidelines is that those cyber cafes have to be closed by midnight. In my opinion, this is quite inapplicable because most of the youngsters visit cyber cafes late at night and stay there for a long time, even after midnight. One of the reasons for them to visit cyber cafes is their long operating hours which extend to late midnight, and some even operate for 24hours. This is the main feature of cyber cafes and it is hard for it to be changed. If the rule is applied, they may experience great losses.On the other hand, the rule of having a book log to record the entry and departure time of the patrons is inappropriate and unnecessary. Most of the patrons might end up filling up false details, such as false names, false identification card numbers, or even false signatures. It may end up be a useless recording and it is a waste of time doing it.
Therefore, the government should revise those guidelines to ensure its usefulness and that it brings more pros than cons to the society.
However, some new rules are beneficial to the society. For example, cyber cafes are not allowed to use tinted glasses. Some youngsters may skip their tuition classes or run out of schools to go to these places secretly without the knowledge of their families. Therefore, non- tinted glasses may make them feel uncomfortable and reduce the chances for them to do so.The rule saying that those under 12 years old must be accompanied by parents or guardian and only allowed to stay up to 10 pm is also advantageous. Young children should be discouraged to go to these places, especially without parents’ consents. They should also avoid hanging around at outside til late night.
In addition, the rules which prohibit cyber cafes from selling cigarettes and alcohols, providing gambling, pornography, music and publications with negative element is good for the society. These harmful items and unconstructive elements should be eliminated to avoid those naïve youngsters from being contaminated. It is an important step to be taken in order to build a healthy society.

i think is quite hard for them to record the entry and departure time of the patrons, is troublesome from the patrons' view and the information is not all trustworthy...maybe can try to use some members card, then can have all information in detail for filing and reference purpose.
well..i think it's pretty true that some of the rules are applicable and some aren't that effective such as the patrons recording.
I agree that the guidelines should be revised again for a better and more effective result which will benefit the society.
Maybe a rule stating that cyber cafe has to stop operating latest by 2am will create a balance for both parties.
i agree with what that been stated cause there are pros and cons in both parties and whatever decision been made.some of the decisions is beneficial for the society but limit the time of cyber operation would affect the business and society too.Indirectly affected as some people did work at night.
conclusion:deal the matter personally.rules and regulation is just to control the situation.the power of making decision is in our hand.so use it wisely...
Dear Cathy,
It is a good suggestion. May be the government should consider the use of member cards. It is definitely a more practical and convenient way to do the recording.
Dear Eunice,
Yes. A balance point should be determined in order to benefit both the cafe operator and society.
