People & purpose
As a Second Lieutenant in MCDF, emergency response keeps me connected to what matters: people, teamwork, and practical ways to make a difference.
EMERGENCY RESPONSEA PERSONAL SPACE BY SYAHRUL
A curious mind, a practical heart.
Finding connections between people,
radio, technology, and stories.
I’m Leftenan Muda (PA) Syahrul Saifuddin Bin Md Thakhrim, a Second Lieutenant in the Malaysia Civil Defence Force (MCDF), and the person behind 9w2tng. What began as my amateur radio callsign has become a name for my personal work, interests, and explorations.
My background in emergency response shapes how I approach things: understand the situation, stay practical, and find a way to help. That same curiosity follows me into radio and technology, where there’s always something new to learn.
Away from duty and tinkering, I also enjoy anime and manga. There’s room here for the stories I love, as well as the things I build.
This is my small corner of the internet. A place to share who I am and what keeps me curious, one connection and one useful idea at a time.

Each one shapes the way I see the world.

EMERGENCY RESPONSEAmateur radio is where 9w2tng began. A reminder that a little curiosity and a signal can open up a connection.
AMATEUR RADIOI enjoy building web tools, exploring self-hosted systems, and finding small ways technology can make everyday work easier.
TECHNOLOGY & TINKERINGAnime and manga are part of my downtime. A different kind of exploration, through stories, characters, and imagined worlds.
