Zaki Yamani adopts dad Jamal Abdillah's lifestyle

Young singer Zaki Yamani places great importance on personal grooming and presentation, a lesson he learned from his mother, Fatimatuzahra Samat, who modeled her habits after his father, Datuk Jamal Abdillah. The 20-year-old vocalist expressed his preference for a neat appearance, stating that he dislikes looking unprepared. Even when running errands, he ensures he wears proper shoes instead of slippers, just as his father did.

Zaki believes that maintaining a polished image can lead to career opportunities, as being neat and presentable can bring good fortune. During the launch of his latest single, "Akur," he explained, "You never know when someone might approach you to discuss a performance or project. Being well-turned-out makes a good impression and serves as effective public relations."

Apart from aesthetics, Zaki prioritizes physical health and vocal stamina through regular workouts and cardio exercises. He emphasized that physical fitness is just as important as maintaining a good image. He stated, "I hit the gym regularly so I am always ready, whether I need to perform five or ten high-pitched songs in a single showcase."

Zaki's new single, "Akur," is co-written with Bunga and Amzar Razqa.
