Firefighter Muhammad Nursyahrin Md Yunan, better known as syahrin_jjang online, has left the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) after 14 years of service.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old SCDF Warrant Officer 2 (WO2) was one of the familiar faces behind Tampines Fire Station\u2019s TikTok videos, which gained a following online for their mix of trending challenges and fire safety content.<\/p>\n
The videos have gained hundreds of thousands of views each.<\/p>\n
Nursyahrin announced his departure in an Instagram (IG) post on Saturday (Aug 1), reflecting on his journey from a young recruit to a firefighter, leader and father of two girls, aged seven and five.<\/p>\n
“Words can’t describe how it feels to leave a place that watched me grow up,” his IG caption read, adding that he was closing a chapter of his life with “a heart full of memories”.<\/p>\n
He also thanked the colleagues, saying they shaped him through the lessons, challenges and friendships built over the years.<\/p>\n
“As I close this chapter of my life, I do so with a smile, knowing this place gave me some of the best years of my life,” Nursyahrin wrote in his IG post.<\/p>\n
“Now it’s time to turn the page.”<\/p>\n
He said leaving SCDF was not a decision he made lightly, reported 8days.<\/p>\n
“I felt like I’d achieved what I wanted to in SCDF. I had the privilege of serving on the frontline, leading teams, and eventually discovering a passion for creating content and connecting with people through social media,” 8days quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n
Nursyahrin is now a social media content creator at ShortcutX, a Singapore-based health and wellness brand.<\/p>\n
He told AsiaOne that he is excited about his new career because he can create content every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“In SCDF, content creation was something I looked forward to on top of my operational duties. Now, I get to fully immerse myself in storytelling, explore bigger ideas and constantly challenge myself creatively.”<\/p>\n
Asked by 8days about being described online as one of Singapore’s most handsome firefighters, Nursyahrin laughed it off.<\/p>\n
His online popularity has also followed him beyond his uniform. He has about <\/strong>11,000 followers on Instagram and close to 10,000 on TikTok.<\/p>\n “I’ve had people stare at me before asking, ‘Eh… aren’t you the TikTok firefighter?’ even when I wasn’t in uniform. One even asked for a photo while I was at the gym,” he said.<\/p>\n He told 8days that he viewed the attention as a compliment but hoped people would remember the message behind the videos.<\/p>\n “If people come for the looks but stay because they learned something about fire safety or gained a better appreciation for what firefighters do, then I think we’ve achieved something meaningful.”<\/p>\n [[nid:732926]]<\/p>\n helmy.saat@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Firefighter Muhammad Nursyahrin Md Yunan, better known as syahrin_jjang online, has left the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) after 14 years of service.
