Malaysia launches Islamic TV channel
KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA on Tuesday will officially launch a free-to-air Islamic television channel to propagate the religion and provide family education based on religious teachings.
The TV Al Hijrah television channel will also open up more opportunities for those in the creative industry, according to Wan Mohamad Sheikh Abdul Aziz, head of the country's Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which will operate the channel.
The channel, which has been broadcasting since early last month, features programmes on religious discourses on family life, a wellness talk show as well as children's cartoons based on Islamic teachings, according to its website.
'Jakim hopes that through cooperation from missionaries and arts activists, the station will emerge as the top Islamic propagation station in the region,' Mr Wan Mohamad told state media late on Monday.
The channel will be formally launched by Prime Minister Najib Razak at a ceremony later on Tuesday, the first day of the Muslim calendar.
Minister in charge of Islamic affairs Jamil Khir Baharom has said Islamic programmes make up just 10 to 18 per cent of local television programming and that the new channel would appeal to Muslims and non-Muslims. -- AFP
