Waktu Rehat (English: Break Time), also known as As the Bell Rings Malaysia, is a Disney Channel Asia original television series based on the Disney Channel Italy series Quelli dell'intervallo. The series follows a group of Malaysian lower secondary school students at the fictional S.M. Jalan Mas (Golden Road Secondary School) in the school hallway during recess.
The series premiered on August 31, 2010, and ran for three seasons until July 21, 2012. The first episode, titled "Durian Breath" or "Nafas Durian", was shown online on August 18, 2010 on Disney Channel Asia's website and YouTube channel. The series aired every Saturday and Sunday at 11:50 MST, with English subtitles added in each episode. All three seasons of the series were released to Disney+ Hotstar in 2021.[1]
The show theme song, "Waktu Rehat", is adopted and translated to Malay from the original Italian version (which is also used by most of the international versions of the series) and was performed by the cast themselves.
The opening title sequence of the series begins by the main characters introducing themselves, this was followed by a scenario where the characters are bored in a comical drawn classroom and waiting for the recess to arrive. As the school bell finally rings to mark the recess, the characters dances cheerfully. The sequence ends when the characters taking the class photo and the title logo is featured.
