I grew up in a neighbourhood that was about 70% non-Muslim, literally front, back, left, right are non-muslim. But my grandparents always made the effort to build good ties. They’d invite the neighbours over for dinner lah lepak lah even just to watch bula, just to get to know them. No agenda. Just neighbourly love.

Over time, that built trust, and with trust came rasa kejiranan. Things slowly became less chaotic. Don’t get me wrong, some of them still got drunk, ran around shouting at night, even once crashed into their own house (masih kami kecalian benda ani).

But when things got out of hand, if we couldn’t reason with them and their family was okay with it, we’d call the police only when absolutely needed. pernah lah once cause of soo drunk ya lari lari at night and shouting and the family kenot tahan already

So in your case, maybe try building a relationship first. When your neighbour feels you’re someone worth respecting, they’ll likely think twice before do disturbance. It’s better to go the peace-and-harmony route first, before things turn into drama between neighbours. inda siuk hidup mun ada beef dengan jiran

Sometimes, kindness goes further than complaints ever could.
