TV Alhijrah
1 Malaysia TV no longer provide streaming of TV Alhijrah when I last checked the "LIVE @ TVALHIJRAH" page of TV Alhijrah's website where the embeeded streaming media has changed to a message from 1 Malaysia TV stating "This channel is not available in your country". When I checked 1 Malaysia IPTV's website, I found out that TV Alhijrah's live streaming is gone.

UPDATE 2/8/2013: The live streaming returned when I last checked on August 1 after I had breaking fast.

Written in the text of KidsCo's advertisement is the offering of an audio option in English and Mandarin beside Malay (actually English is the main broadcast language of this channel) starting July 22.
