In Malaysia, there's one thing more dependable than your neighborhood CCTV: the ever-watchful eyes of a pakcik bawang - those uncles who always seem to know everyone's business. But in a hilarious twist, one Malaysian TikTok user has revealed that their most observant neighbour isn't even human.

Every time she comes home, one loyal "neighbor" is always there, watching from behind the gate. No, it's not your regular curious uncle. It's a dog. Yes, a four-legged, furry kepohchi with the full energy of a nosy pakcik bawang - minus the gossip, of course.

Captured and shared by TikTok user @bennybunnybun, the video shows the pup peering out as if making sure everything is in order. It's cute, a little nosy, and extremely Malaysian in spirit.

What makes it so relatable is how the dog mirrors that familiar sense of community curiosity - where neighbors look out for one another and sometimes, look a little too hard. But in this case, the adorable stare is all in good fun. The dog doesn't bark or growl - just quietly observes, like a silent security guard with floppy ears.

Naturally, Malaysians in the comments couldn't get enough, with many sharing their own stories of pets behaving like neighborhood aunties and uncles. From cats that monitor the front gate to parrots that shout greetings at strangers, pet kepoh energy seems to be a nationwide phenomenon.

So next time you think no one's watching you come home with your bubble tea or late-night snacks - think again. There might be a furry pakcik bawang keeping tabs on the neighbourhood one head tilt at a time.
