For so long, we have been using email as a source of communication. It is convenient and it is FREE! But now there is suggestion to make 1Malaysia Email operated by Tricubes. The aim is to provide a link of communication between government of Malaysia with the Malaysian citizen. Malaysian citizen with age 18 years old and above are eligible to open the 1Malaysia email. It is said to be more secure (without foreign email operator like yahoo, live mail and gmail) and can give a direct access between government and citizen.
The initial plan comes with good vision. However, it is not for FREE. Although, it is then clarify that the 50cent charge is just apply on government agency and not the citizen. It is still a bad move. 50cent an email. Just imagine Malaysia population, more than 15millions are adults and just take 10millions registered the 1Malaysia Email. If Prime Minister want to wish Chinese New Year via email to Malaysian. How much it will cost? RM 5Millions for 1 single wish. This is crazy and ridiculous. Even it is 1cent per email also i believe many are disagree.
Aside from that, predominant email operator existed long before this and they are much more expert in this field. Most important, it is for FREE. Conclusion, i believe that no one will go and register the 1Malaysia email. The register procedure is troublesome and no one will check the 1Malaysia email frequently as most people only prefer to check their main email. Conclusion, it is a redundant.
