Yassin Yahya to make public appearance next month
20 May - Yassin Yahya may be making his first public appearance next month as a part of the "Muzikal Lawak Bangsawan: Mimpi Tuanku" that will be staged on 28 June at the Panggung Bangsawan Melaka.
The news was shared by Senario member Saiful Apek, who said that he was informed by Yassin's wife about the matter.
"The event is being organised by his own company. So, that's all I can tell you because as of now, Senario members and myself don't have any development regarding Yassin," he said.
Meanwhile, fellow member Azlee said that they have yet to meet Yassin since his return to Malaysia, but that he hopes everybody will pray for the comedian's well-being.
"I hope that we will reunite soon, sit together and give each other a hug because it's been a while," he added.
Yassin was previously speculated to be the comedian who had been arrested in Jeddah for drug possession. However, in a previous interview, Saiful Apek denied that Yassin was imprisoned, and said that the comedian was in rehab.

YASSiN & Sean Terrio Bring Genre-Bending Sound to Sound of Music Festival
From June 12 to 15, 2025, Burlington will be host to the annual Sound of Music (SOM) festival once again. The festival has a long history; it began back in 1980 rather more humbly than its current form, as a marching band parade. Since then, scores of musicians, from big names to local musicians, have graced SOM's stages. On June 15, local artists YASSiN and Sean Terrio will join those ranks, performing on the TD Main Stage at 2:30 p.m. Zack Yassin and Sean Terrio have been releasing music since 2020. They met each other a year earlier by pure coincidence. '[We met at] a local venue in Oakville called the Moonshine Cafe,' Yassin said. 'Sean happened to be singing at an open mic for the very first time, and I happened to be going to see this venue to check out the open mic for the very first time.' 'When I walked in, Sean was singing, and I was like, I have to work with this guy,' Yassin continued. 'Before that, I was writing, producing, and managing a bunch of different artists, whether it was hip-hop artists, country artists, or pop singers. And I finally decided that I wanted to be an artist myself. Then I met Sean, and I had a few songs I knew his voice would sound perfect on, and we started working together.' Terrio said that before taking the stage that night, he had never performed publicly. 'It was really just on a whim,' Terrio said. 'I knew I could kind of sing, and I wanted to at least go to one open mic in my life. I definitely come from a pretty musical family, and I have some musical friends, but ultimately, I was really inexperienced and kind of raw.' Terrio said that he had done 20 years of 'quiet dreaming' before stepping on stage, and that he had to develop the more outgoing side of himself before embarking on this new career. The result of that development, and partnering with Yassin, is a sound that doesn't fit into any one genre. Their sound is soulful and bright, with hints of pop, blues, R&B, and even country. Yassin said that playing SOM for the first time is an exciting prospect. 'I spent my whole life going to the Sound of Music Festival, seeing The Trews, Walk Off the Earth, and so many other artists there,' Yassin said. 'So I'm extremely pumped to be playing it.' The duo put out their debut album Just Try in October of last year. Yassin said the streaming numbers for the album have been a 'slow burn,' but that they have been growing every day. 'We're pretty confident that in time it'll get like the respect that we think it deserves, and people will love it the way we love it, because we really slaved over that thing and worked crazy hard on it,' Yassin said. Yassin hopes that events like SOM will help get the word out about the album even more. The duo operates as independent artists and spoke about the benefits of not being signed to a major label. 'It's like people are more interested in our brand over our music, which we completely understand, we want to be entertainers,' Yassin said. 'But with music labels, a lot of the time we've had the experience of like, 'Okay, we'll sign you, but let's change everything about you,' and we don't like that. And I'm a very hands-on person in every aspect of the business.' Yassin said that to him, a label deal is an easy way out. 'It's just a fast pass to what you hope is something grand,' Yassin said. 'But now that's not even guaranteed with labels. So you might as well build your own team and be your own label.' Terrio said that signing with a label would feel like settling at this point. He also said that there are many skills that he wouldn't have learned had he not been forced to as a result of working independently. As YASSiN and Sean Terrio, the two often post comedic videos to their social media pages, many featuring Terrio performing impressions of public figures and celebrities. Yassin spoke about the genesis of this content. 'We're 31 and 30, we're not TikTok people,' Yassin said. 'But as independent artists, we're like, 'We need to figure this out to market the album.' And as we were trying to figure it out, we saw all these other things that other artists are doing on TikTok, like singing your song in your car and stuff like that, but it wasn't working for us. And we finally just said, 'Let's do something that just makes us laugh.'' 'It felt like we were forced, out of necessity, to get ourselves out there more,' Yassin continued. 'And then we realized, 'Oh, we actually love comedy,' and people seem to like it as well.' Yassin said that he and Terrio have always shared a similar sense of humour, so it was very natural for them to be funny on camera and in front of audiences. 'It's so nice not having to force a different online persona to get views,' Yassin said. 'It's literally just us, which we're grateful for.' Terrio said that his family moved around frequently in his youth, and developed ways to entertain himself in between making friends, one of which was impressions. YASSiN and Sean Terrio will be performing at Mills Hardware in Hamilton on June 6, as well as at the Sound of Music festival on June 15.

Yassin Yahya: I wasn't detained for smuggling drugs!
27 May - Yassin Yahya has finally opened up about his arrest in Jeddah, having been detained in Saudi Arabia for the past six months. The comedian, who shared his experience with good friend Saiful Apek on the latter's podcast, said that the news that he was detained for illegal drug possession is wrong and that it was due to him bringing an item that bore an image of an illegal substance. Admitting that his lack of knowledge about the country being one of the reasons for what happened to him, Yassin said that it all started with him joining a fully sponsored umrah travel trip. However, due to his busy schedule, he didn't get the chance to attend umrah courses prior to departure. "Before I left, I made a joke with mum saying that I might 'extend' my stay. My mum was surprised by it. But it unwittingly came true," he said. Yassin, who boarded an eight-hour flight to Jeddah, said that he thought about how he can smoke and decided to buy cigarette rolling paper, a grinder as well as a pack of cigarettes. That's what the custom officers in Jeddah saw when they scanned his bag. "They saw the image on the grinder and went to further inspect my bag. I told them it was cigarettes and that they can do urine test on me. At the same time, I asked my mutawif to go on without me because they were leaving for Madinah," he said. Yassin said that he thought the custom officers would take him back to his umrah group after the interrogation, but instead they cuffed him and took him to a police station in Jeddah. "I wondered what was wrong because if it was because of the image on the grinder, I would have been detained in Malaysia... But I wasn't given a chance to explain or call anybody, and we weren't able to communicate properly [due to language barrier]. On my way, I just prayed to Allah and leave everything to Him," he said. Yassin said that he was detained for six months at the deportation centre before finally coming home without bringing any of his belongings back. (Photo Source: Yassin IG, Harian Metro)
