#SHOWBIZ: Zaki Yamani: 'I've been earning my own money since I was 13'

Zack Yamani, the 20-year-old singer, remains undeterred by netizens' doubts about his financial situation. He firmly states that he has been earning his own income since the age of 13, and he works diligently to meet his personal financial responsibilities. According to Zack, none of his wealth comes from his father or anyone else. He openly admits that only those close to him are aware of his financial commitments.

During a recent Berita Harian report, Zack addressed the comments made by netizens during a social media live stream. One netizen suggested that Zack's close friend, singer Azeva, should seek a wealthy man. Zack, who is the son of renowned singer Datuk Jamal Abdillah, accepted the comment and joked with a calm demeanor, as these individuals are unaware of his financial obligations.

Zack explained that he started working at a young age and is now nearly 21. He believes that his experience working from a young age has helped him manage his finances effectively, ensuring a secure future. Despite assumptions that he has no savings, Zack is actively focused on long-term financial planning. He emphasizes the importance of saving for the future, noting that his mother continually reminds him to do so.

Zack also learned the value of saving from his father, who taught him the importance of having financial reserves.

Zack aims to purchase a house and run a business. As young people, he believes they should not be overly extravagant. His personal principle is to save 70% of his earnings and spend only 30%. Regarding his close friendship with singer Azeva, Zack describes her as disciplined and skilled at generating income through business. Their close relationship has allowed them to understand each other's personalities and life goals, though they remain just good friends.

Zack values Azeva's discipline, business acumen, and her focus on her future when befriending someone.
