Reiterating that the project was a private sector initiative and does not involve public funds, Datuk Seri Najib said signing up for the 1MY E-mail would be on a voluntary basis.
He explained that the initiative had been evaluated by the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu) and was announced as one of seven new projects under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP). He told this to reporters after launching the Saham Amanah Malaysia Week 2011.
Earlier on Wednesday, Pemandu had said that 1MY E-mail account would be completely voluntary.
It added that the sign-up targets for the 1MY E-mail were being set as key performance indicators to enable a focused implementation of the project.
'The e-mail is for each Malaysian above 18 years of age to have access to a single secured communication channel to e-Government services, 'with a single sign-on user ID',' Pemandu added.
