The authorities in Subang Jaya, near the capital Kuala Lumpur, say that from next year they will close down net cafes which allow patrons to play games late at night.
Politicians decided to take the action after being approached by a worried mother whose son had gone missing.
The teenager was found in a cyber cafe where he had been playing for 48 hours.
