Another additional concern is the compulsory purchase of a biometric USB device which apparently allows securer access to the email service.

Those signing up for the controversial 1 Malaysia email service will have to buy a USB biometric device sold by Tricubes Bhd or go to any National Registration Department (NRD) office to get their account activated, the company said today. Tricubes chief executive Khairun Zainal Mokhtar said the USB device would also allow myemail.my users opt for the more secure end-to-end data encryption for an additional fee, which he described as "a fraction of the cost".

And if this previous description of the CEO by a disgruntled executive is any indication, I would rather trust Google rather than my government to handle my email.

Elections to the Federal level are different from elections at the State Level in Malaysia. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Malaysia#Governance The people in Penang for example vote for the secular Democratic Action Party. The very religious Kelantan votes for PAS, and PKR capitalises upon the reputation of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar and basically argues for the same things the DAP argues for. The ruling coalition known as the Barisan Nasional frequently destroys instruments of civil liberty including a just publicised attempt to censor the Internet. It is hardly a choice of the people choosing their governments when their governments gives them no safe outlet to oppose them.
