巴达旺市议会深切关注其管辖范围内的社会问题，其中网络赌博是日益严重的问题之一。 市议会一直与马来西亚皇家警察密切合作，处理这一问题，包括拟议中的联合行动和吊销任何被发现与非法活动有关的执照。 但是，市议会的权限仅限于严格根据许可细则的公共卫生要求而发出餐饮食肆的执照。 市议会主席陈开表示相信那些被指涉及网络赌博的咖啡店都是在没有市议会发出执照的情况下运营。 另外关于便利店的营运执照，它不是在地方议会的管辖范围。 陈开今日回应了关于市议会没有采取任何行动的指控，而发文告如是说。 巴达旺市议会随时准备并愿意与警方和其他相关机构充分合作，打击网络赌博和其他非法活动，使巴达旺成为更安全、更宜居的地区。
