As with previous seasons it opens with a new sequence, now based on a papercraft theme. Season 5 debuted on TV9 on the 12th of March 2011 with the episode "Belajar Lagi". The main focus on this season is as a tribute to sports, as it was developed in a year full of sport events. Season four of Upin & Ipin and Friends debuted on TV9 on 15 March 2010 with the episode "The Village Champion (Part 1)", with a brand new opening sequence and color pencil and exercise book-themed title card. This is also the first season of Upin & Ipin for the international market, airing on Disney Channel Asia beginning 15 November 2009 with dubs in English (the official dub, as the credits and episode titles are in English as well), Mandarin and other languages. In the year-end school break season, it became apparent that new episodes are strategically debuted on school holidays, with new episodes premiering on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 5.30 pm (repeats for the rest of the week) throughout the six-week holiday season. From 14 May, the TV series received major sponsorship from TM, which placed its brand on the show to this date.

After all, what horror/actioner would be complete without a Krull reference? Other notable inclusions on Resident Evil: Apocalypse include "Join Me In Death" from Finnish goth poppers H.I.M., Deftones covering Duran Duran's "Chauffeur" quite capably, and a typically chilly trip-hop piece from Massive Attack.The first season of Upin & Ipin was aired on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, 7.30 pm, in conjunction with Ramadhan and Eid Ul-Fitr, which tells of the twins Upin and Ipin on their first fasting months. Underappreciated Italian goth metal outfit Lacuna Coil contributes "Swamped" from their 2002 effort Comalies, and even if Cradle of Filth's "Nymphetamine" is as cheesy and decadent as you'd expect with a name like that, it's bolstered by guest vocals from Leaves' Eyes frontwoman Liv Kristine Espenaes Krull. But there are also previously unreleased remixes from A Perfect Circle ("Outsider") and Rob Zombie ("Girl on Fire"). The usual suspects populate dark corners, including professional scary guys like Slipknot and Rammstein, as well as middling work from types like the Used and Cold. And yet the aggression, mania, and generally apocalyptic tone of this material fits well with a movie based on a video game about blowing away crazy zombies. Resident Evil: Apocalypse cows predictably to the film's target audience, unleashing a torrent of teenage boy-friendly alt metal.
