Kangar has never been known as an attraction for entertainment. In fact, the only cinema in town has shut down. The people of Perlis probably visit nearby Hatyai town, located just across the Thai border, if they want to patronise entertainment outlets. 

So, it came as a surprise, if not amusement, when Perlis Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim proposed to impose a 10pm to 6am curfew on youths aged 18 and below.
