Ashraf Zaki: I Sleep Peacefully After Implementing the Senior Artists Care Home Project
Dr. Ashraf Zaki, President of the Actors Syndicate, was hosted as a guest on the program "Sahibat Al-Saada," presented by media figure Esaad Younis on dmc, where he spoke during the interview about the Syndicate's role in supporting veteran stars and details of the senior artists' care home project.
Ashraf Zaki said: "I now sleep peacefully after the implementation of the senior artists' care home project, having previously spent much time worrying about veteran stars who lived alone, whether someone whose son was abroad or someone seeking companionship. When one actress was asked why she came to the home, she told them, 'Because my neighbor passed away, and no one found out about her until four days later.'"
He continued: "I extend my gratitude to His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Al Qasimi, Ruler of Sharjah, because he was the one who supported the home project and covered the entire costs of the project, as he believed in it from the very beginning."

Strict legal measures against violators

Monitoring fraudulent advertisements exploiting youth
These warnings come as a continuation of previous alerts issued by the Syndicate President regarding fraudulent advertisements and deceptive promises spotted on social media platforms that exploit the Syndicate's name and target aspiring young individuals wishing to enter the artistic community, dragging them into organized scams.
Methods of fraud and forgery in the artistic community
Zaki clarified in an official statement that certain individuals impersonate syndicate members and exploit the dreams of youth to collect sums of money in exchange for issuing them forged documents and membership cards, misleading them into believing they can secure dramatic and cinematic roles or facilitate their registration through illegal means.
Syndicate accreditations and official channels
The President of the Actors Syndicate concluded by emphasizing that all syndicate transactions and procedures are carried out exclusively through the Syndicate's approved official channels and headquarters, warning against dealing with any individuals or entities claiming influence or the ability to finalize transactions outside this institutional framework.
