Relations between neighbours are woven with a thread of empathy and solidarity, highlighting how cultural plurality becomes a unifying force in everyday life.

Starring award-winning local actor Beto Kusyairi as Faizul, the dedicated security guard, the story focuses on his role as the silent protector of this community. Faizul not only does his job, but goes above and beyond his call of duty, helping his neighbours in any way he can. However, throughout the plot, he is pleasantly surprised by the support and affection he receives from those he has selflessly served. The film celebrates the power of community spirit and how, in a diverse environment, differences can become the foundation of a stronger, more cohesive society.
This film highlights the spirit of neighbourliness, a symbol of the strong unity among Malaysians. PenJAGA’s story inspires us to continue to care for each other, shaping a resilient, harmonious and progressive spirit of independence.
