"1MALAYSIA E-MAIL" NOT USING PUBLIC MONEY, SAYS PM NAJIB
KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Najib Razak Wednesday clarified that the 1Malaysia E-mail project is a voluntary private initiative and does not involve public money.
"Let me clarify that the 1Malaysia E-Mail is a private sector project. No public money is involved, and it's entirely voluntary," said Najib in his Twitter posting early Wednesday.
Najib announced the initiative, one of seven new projects under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), at the fifth progress update of the ETP in Putrajaya on Tuesday.
Under the scheme, Malaysians aged 18 and above will each be assigned a unique e-mail account to receive statements, bills and notices.
The prime minister said in Putrajaya that this would allow direct and secure communication between Malaysians and the government, and enhance the delivery of government services to consumers and businesses alike.
It was reported that Tricubes Bhd would spearhead the RM50 million
(US$16.576) investment which also includes the development of a web portal as a one-stop centre for government services, providing value-added services such as social networking, checking bills online and payments.
