Two new programmes starting 2013 on Media Prima's Bananana

To start the new year of 2013, Media Prima's Bananana children's block has two new programmes. The first one is Planet Kiara, a local science fiction drama series. It will air every Thursday at 6:30 pm on TV3. It is a co-production between the National Science Centre and Bleu Nagas Productions Sdn Bhd. The drama will run for 26 episodes. The title of the drama is taken from the name of the place where the National Science Centre is located which is Bukit Kiara. The drama tells the story of Prof Johari's family with his four children and a robot named PSN-1 (also named after the initials of the National Science Centre). The drama is part of a government initiative made by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation increase the awareness of science, technology and innovation to children (TV3 had previously aired Dengan Inovasi Yo which targets teenagers, also a government initiative by the same ministry).
