Your MP's Question of the Week #30

The internet, like most tools, has its positive side and negative one.

It is positive when one uses it to be productive in one’s work and hobby, helps one increase knowledge, communicate and share information for the benefit of society. On the other hand it will be bad use of the technology if one uses the internet to add further to or give rise to new social problems.

It has been observed that one of the greatest negatives of the internet has been its creation of cybercafés for purposes other than what they have been intended. For example, the cybercafés have been rampantly being abused to serve as convenient hideouts for students to play truant, create gambling dens, operate as Ah Long’s safe havens to ply their trade and also become escape outlets for insomniacs. It’s logical to conclude that as these cybercafés mushroom the social problems that they help propagate will increase in tandem.

The question for this week then is:

Should internet cybercafés be given greater attention by the authority throughout the country so that more enforcement can be employed to effectively monitor their activities with the sole aim to totally eradicate their negative impacts?

Soalan Mingguan Wakil Rakyat Anda Ke-30

Internet, seperti alat lain, ada kesan baik dan tak baiknya.

Ia mendatangkan kebaikan apabila seseorang itu menggunakannya untuk menaikkan daya keupayaan kerjanya atau hobinya, menolongnya menambah pengetahuan, berhubung dan berkongsi maklumat untuk manfaat masyarakat. Akan tetapi, adalah salahguna teknologi jika seseorang itu menggunakan internet untuk memburukkan atau mencipta masalah baru untuk masyarakat.

Adalah diperhatikan kesan paling negatif dalam internet adalah kemunculan cybercafe di mana matlamat asalnya tidak dicapai. Umpamanya tempat ini telah dijadikan tempat budak ponteng sekolah berlindung, dijadikan tempat berjudi, tempat ah long menjalankan kegiatannya dan tempat kunjungan orang tidak dapat tidur. Adalah munasabah membuat rumusan bahawa semakin banyak cybercafé muncul, maka lebih banyak masalah sosial akan bertambah.

Soalan minggu ini adalah:

Patutkah cybercafé diberi lebih perhatian oleh pihak berkuasa seluruh negara supaya penguatkuasa lebih berkesan boleh dilaksanakan untuk memperhatikan kegiatan dalam cybercafé untuk membasmi kesan-kesan negative?
