It’s not always glitz and glamour for our local talents. Retired actor Zul Yahya recently revealed his financial situation after leaving the entertainment industry, exposing his family’s unfortunate living state.
Late last week, rumours emerged that actor-turned-entrepreneur Zul Yahya has been facing financial trouble.

Days later, Zul would go live on TikTok, confirming the allegations about his current financial issue.

According to the 53-year-old, he and his family of eight have been living at their restaurant while trying to find solutions for their personal troubles. While he never mentioned the cause of the problems, Zul noted that the family will have to live at the restaurant for a week before they can find a better alternative.
Zul later revealed that he needs RM15,000 within the near future to solve his ongoing financial issues. He never disclosed the purpose of the money, but many believe the RM15,000 is for unpaid bills for his house and business. In his livestream, the former actor also shared a link to his Touch ‘n Go eWallet, pleading for assistance from the public.
For those unfamiliar, Zul Yahya was once a popular actor who starred in various dramas and movies in the 1990s and early 2000s. He would later retire from acting, instead focusing on his restaurant business. However, in recent years, he also sparked controversy with his comments on social media, some of which are politically charged.
Netizens have reacted to the former actor’s current state, expressing sympathy towards him and his family. Some also said they’ve pitched in to help Zul with his financial situation. However, some netizens mocked him, quipping that his money troubles are likely the result of his controversial comments.
Regardless of what happened in the past, we hope Zul and his family will be able to solve their financial problems and get back on their feet.
