Dear Shaolin Wahnam Family and Guests
I learned yesterday that Grandmaster Yap Cheng Hai passed away on June 5th, 2014 at the age of 88.
He was Sigung's Sihing from the lineage of Sitaigung Chee Kim Thong, the Patriarch of Wuzu or Five-Ancestor Kungfu.
Sigung writes about him:

May his journey be happy and his memory blessed.

Sigung writes about him:
Sifu Yap Cheng Hai is my siheng, or senior classmate, in my lineage from Sifu Chee Kim Thong, the Patriarch of Wuzu or Five-Ancestor Kungfu. I did not have the opportunity to train with him while I was learning Wuzu Kungfu because I learned from my Sifu's eldest son, Sifu Chee Boon Leong in Dungun (Malaysia) which was my Sifu's hometown, while Sifu Yap Cheng Hai helped my Sifu teaching in Kuala Lumpur. However, years later I met him in the Malaysian Federation of Chinese Martial Arts where he was the Chief Judge for competitions.
Sifu Yap Cheng Hai is well-known for his internal force. He can leisurely hold out his arms and two able-bodied adults can swing on them. Despite being highly accomplished in kungfu, he is a soft-spoken gentleman. He is also an accomplished feng shui master and successful banker.
