GOPENG: Beginning next year, family entertainment centres will not be allowed to operate in Perak due to rampant licence abuse by premises owners.
State Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, Consumer Affairs, Non-Governmental Organisations and Civil Society Committee Chairman Samsuddin Abu Hassan said the issuance and renewal of licences for family entertainment centres would cease from 2017.
He said lately, the abuse of licences by premises owners was getting rampant, including turning entertainment centres into gambling joints for students.
“So, the state government has taken several measures, including non-issuance of new licences while existing licences will be allowed to operate until Dec 31 this year, on condition the licence is not abused,” he added.
He said the decision to stop the renewal of licences for family entertainment centres was made at the state exco meeting recently.According to Samsuddin, there are currently 129 family entertainment centres in the state, with 123 in Ipoh, Hilir Perak (four) and Batu Gajah (two). – BERNAMA
