Kapitan Yap Ah Shak (or Yap Chee Ying) was the fourth Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur. Yap Ah Shak, of Hakka origin, was born in Huizhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province in China (n Xinan Village Huizhou. (In 1988 it was changed under the jurisdiction of Lufeng District Shanwei City Guangdong Province. (1988年改为广东省汕尾市陆丰区管辖)。). His career as Chinese Kapitan had begun in Sungei Ujong (now the State of Negri Sembilan). His appointment as the Kapitan of Sungei Ujong was supported by Wong Ying, a famous Guangdong miner cum merchant, and his allies. The appointment of Yap Ah Shak as the Kapitan was linked to a coup d'etat against the then Kapitan Sam Meng Lei. Kapitan Sam Meng Lei was an incapable leader in Sungei Ujong. He was trapped in between the raging civil wars between the two Rajahs in Sungei Ujong and subsequently was killed during the strike. It was said that, Kapitan Sam Meng Lei had lost his popularity, when he could not voice out the dissatisfaction among the Chinese merchants regarding the increase of revenue income imposed by the Malay rulers. However, the problem was never solved dynamically by Yap Ah Shak because of the invitation by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy of Kuala Lumpur to make him the assistant and overseer of Yap Ah Loy's mines and coolies. Therefore, Yap Ah Shak left Sungei Ujong, after less than a year service. According to some records, the reason Yap Ah Shak left Sungei Ujong was probably because he knew that there will be better future in Kuala Lumpur. Yap Ah Shak died in 1889 and the Kapitan office passed to his best friend, Yap Kwan Seng. Yap Ah Shak had three sons and one daughter, Yap Loong Hin, Yap Futt Yew, Yap Chin Fook and Yap Tenga.

Yap Loong Hin was the eldest son of Yap Ah Shak. Born in 1873 in Kuala Lumpur, Yap Loong Hin was the Head of Yap Clan, owner of tin mines in several Malay states, trustee and the president of many educational and social institutions in Selangor. Yap Loong Hin had five wives, three sons, three daughters and 11 grandchildren. He died in 1937 and was buried at the Birch Road Chinese Cemetery.
