SHAH ALAM: Singer Zaki Yamani remains unfazed by comments from certain netizens questioning his financial standing; instead, he asserts that he has been earning his own income since the age of 13.

Zaki—whose full name is Ahmad Zaki Yamani Jamal Ubaidillah, 20—claims to work hard to cover his own financial commitments, without relying on his father or anyone else.

"In my view, we shouldn't belittle others. Those who have supported me from the start know how hard I work.

"I don't use my father's money or anyone else's. I work to pay for my own commitments. Only those close to me know this," he said in a recent Berita Harian report.
