Tricubes Berhad has launched the myemail.my “Citizen Inbox” service with registration to begin at the end of April despite a furore whether the RM50 million project is necessary for citizens to communicate with the government.
The government has already stated the service is voluntary and no public funds will be used to finance the project.
Tricubes is using Microsoft Corp’s Windows Live platform for the email service, which will offer 25GB of mailbox space. The service will also allow users to create documents using Microsoft Office products, which is the most popular office suite software worldwide.
Windows Live is the collective brand name for a set of services and software products from Microsoft, part of their software plus services platform.
The features offered by Tricubes are already available in Microsoft’s free Hotmail service.
The government has stressed that it is not funding the private-sector initiative despite inviting bids for the project last November.
However, project developer, Tricubes, is in danger of being delisted from the stock exchange for financial irregularities.
The website domain was registered by Tricubes on March 10, 2011 for a year.
“Myemail is an email messaging service open to all Malaysians. If you are a citizen, then you are entitled to a myemail account. Registration is simple and approval is within 24 hours.
“With a myemail account, you can get the latest news or even events by the government directly to your inbox. Be the first to know of new government initiatives, services or policies,” the website added.
As of 5pm, the hashtags #1malaysiaemail and #Tricubes are still among the top ten Malaysian topics on microblogging site Twitter, where Malaysians have ridiculed the email plan since it was announced yesterday.
The 1 Malaysia email project is not the first free email project in the country. WauMail was officially launched on July 12, 1999 and was available in four languages — Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin and Tamil.
WauMail was a joint-venture between Technology Park Malaysia and Intelliweb Sdn Bhd. Its website was hacked in 2001 when it had some 600,000 users. It was later turned into a paid email service in 2002. At present, it no longer exists as an email service.

Najib says Tricubes will come out with the RM 50M capital outlay. I wonder how are they going to recover their investment and make money. Appears that some shady deals have been concluded or promised!
A special ATM machine called " Citizen Inbox " is finally built for Tricubes Berhad with approved special license to withdraw the funds from the public. This blood sucking ATM machine is the first and only one in the world....to generate money by using the latest fast Money Scheme .No risk and guarantee profit , better than Ah Long..... MALAYSIA BOLEH !!!
