Amongst these videos, a couple of them have particularly captured the attention of Malaysian netizens…
One such video was posted on TikTok by user @oby.max__ featuring the front of his house adorned with beautiful lights. However, the attention quickly shifted to his neighbour's house, which had brighter, disco-like lights that seemed to be better than his own.
In the video, @oby.max__ exclaimed, "Alhamdulillah, I thought only my house was the nicest with these lights, it turns out the person next door wants to compete.
“What lights are they using? It looks like a nightclub! I thought I already won, they also want to win too!"
Shortly after, @iejamurad, another TikTok user from the neighbour's side, posted another video showing off their Hari Raya light display. The video showcased the same disco lights and brighter display, before panning to what seemed like @oby.max__'s house.
The caption of the video read, "When you don't want to lose to your neighbours," in a playful tone.
These videos have brought a sense of lighthearted fun and friendly competition to social media, bringing people together during festive times.
Malaysians said they found the friendly competition between the two neighbours amusing, especially since their videos appeared consecutively on the 'For You' page of TikTok.
